Interesting Flavor Combo

[christylh8]

I've been doing my own liquids for a few months now and I haven't had a lot of luck with what I consider to be a real winner except for one, which I thought I'd share.

Here's an interesting flavor combo for everyone: Ruby Red Grapefruit (TFA) 15%, Champagne (TFA) 5%, and Pixie Stick Candy (WF) 1%.

Very bright and refreshing.

I haven’t tried anything with my WF Pixie yet. Looks like something I might like Steep time or s&v?

I hope it turns out well and you love it!

I apparently am a flavor freak. I'm at 21%

I love flavor too! I just know I like the 2 FW I used at those percentages and this is my first mix with Pixie. So I went with the median or average used in a mix on ELR. I won’t post some recipes because I’d rather not deal with “those comments”. Sometimes mixes are better with less but so far I’ve found that some really need a bit more to be where I want them. If you like it and it works for you, don’t let anyone tell you any different!

Not unusual when coming off of commercial juices. My percentages were high to at first. Your tastes will change over time just like quitting smoking .

 

[Letitia]

Your recipe sounds good, I'll mix it subbing the grapefruit with pink guava and maybe a touch of citrus mix. Love a good pixie!

 

[Letitia]

Well I don't have pink champagne but I do have blood orange champagne. Any hoo it sounds tasty and I'll adapt it to what I have on hand. Thanks for the idea Christy.

That sounds delicious!

Yeah I don't have the rr grapefruit either. Sub queen here. I'm at 197 flavors so no more until I thin the herd.

Hubby asked me the other day if I’m about done buying flavors yet First time he’s mentioned anything about any of it. Told him I might need to round out what I have here and there but I’m pretty close to being done now. He’s great!

 

[Letitia]

If he pretended to believe you he is a great husband. For myself I have no desire to keep track of more than 200 flavors. Would like to eventually get down to 100-150 for my cousin and myself. Easy to manage and more than enough for great juices. Bonus is having room to try a few new ones if the mood strikes.

Letitia, you were the one who turned me on to Pixie. So good!

What size bottles do you normally get? I only have 10mLs now to experiment. Capella Lemon Sicily has become one of my favorites.

So is @Letitia holding out on us though she probably has great pixie mix recipes? The one she mentioned sounds tasty I might have to mix it also.

I now only get new flavors in 10ml or 8ml from Wizard. If it’s a win and I know I’ll use often I’ll then order a larger bottle, size depending on frequency and volume I’ll be using. I initially purchased some 60mls I’ve literally only used once. So, never again until I know I like and indeed will be using. My only exception to this rule is if someone I know and trust tells me to “get the big bottle.”

Edit:
I also have some 15mls. I just get the sample size available.

 

[NatashaTMT]

@Letitia I know this might be very similar to my first mix but your idea pulled me in. I know you have more experience mixing with citrusy mixes. If you don’t mind, how does this look? I love pink guava but know if not careful you can get some unpleasant off notes. I’m thinking a blood orange forward one would also be good...

Pink Pixie Pop

.25 Blood Orange (Natural) (FW)
2% Pink Champagne (FW)
1.3% Pink Guava (Flavorah)
3.5% Pixie Stick Candy (Wonder Flavours SC)

I order the sample 10-15ml then the keepers I order 2-4oz depending on sale prices. I love pixie, Cap jelly candy is good too for a smoother candy. WF gushy is popular with many and tastes good. I only pif'd mine because I prefer the jelly. Fa sweet and tart is good as well. CapSL rainbow candy is good but I probably won't reorder.
