Garden of Delight - Blood Of Adonis Liquids

[Blood_of_Adonis]

I have a propensity for complex flavors. I can almost barely ever bring myself to mix up just one flavor in a batch. The Result is something I'll call Blood Of Adonis Liquids. No, I'm not selling these- but please, do not make them for sale to others. The Recipes I will give under the BOA name represent hours and hours of tinkering with flavor components. Maybe I'll sell them one day...probably not. Until then, try it out for yourself.

(all measurements given in drops- flavoring only)

Garden of Delight, v1:

17 Papaya
8 Orange Blossom
5 Zen Garden


G.O.D. v2:

17 Papaya
8 Orange Blossom
4 Zen Garden
3 Pina Colada
1 Anise


G.O.D. v3:

9 Papaya
8 Orange Blossom
3 Zen Garden
10 Pina Colada
4 Anise
2 Bergamot

The first is the easiest to make, obviously. Each recipe will give you about 3ml of flavor to test with. The flavor is like drinking a refreshing tropical beverage in a relaxing herb garden. If you don't care for black licorice (anise), no worries- you don't taste it in these recipes so much, it mostly changes other flavors and that's it. Same with the bergamot (earl grey tea ingredient)- it has a musky citrus note that really brings in that garden feel.

Feedback and comments welcome.

Enjoy!

Also, all flavors are Flavor Art, I think. The Pina Colada Might be Perfumer's Apprentice.

Very intrigued... Looks like its time to place another flavoring order in the morning. What % are you using the blends at?

Thanks for sharing!

When I mix my finished flavoring with nic and glycerin, it's usually between 5 and 10 percent, but I just eyeball it. I put a bit in a 10ml bottle, fill to the half mark with VG, then fill to the top with 36mg VG (18mg finished). But yeah, flavoring needs to steep before hand (few hours in warm water), which adds a step but I think in the end, it's better and easier to mix the flavoring ahead of time.

I suppose you could figure out the "proper" percent of flavoring to use by averaging the suggested % for all the flavors, but I'm too busy being lazy for that.

I ended up mixing your recipe to make a 10ml batch of flavoring then added to my pre-mixed base.
Very nice recipe here.... I ended up at about 12% flavoring (like my flavors pretty strong.
Thanks for posting this, I hadn't tried the Bergamot or Zen Garden flavorings before, they're quite nice..
