Just made the yummiest vanilla coke

[my4jewels]

I didn't think I'd like vanilla coke, but I got some in a trade, and I loved it. I just ran out of that bottle, so I tried my hand at making some.

I like my flavors on the strong side, so I went with 15% FA cola and 5% TPA vanilla swirl., and a few drops of cotton candy. It's really good!

Does anyone know how the cola flavor from TPA compares to FA?

I may even try rootbeer. Anyone have any experience with TPA rootbeer?

I love it that I can get 30ml of TPA for only $4.99 from GoodProphets.

I like TPA Cola much better than the FA cola. The FA cola has a weird flavor in it that I cannot pinpoint, but I dont care for it.

Thanks, Robot. Does it have that hard to describe "fizzy" note that makes it taste carbonated as well?

The TPA "cola syrup" has the fizzy note you speak of. I have not tried their standard cola flavor.

the TPA cola does not have the fizzy note, at least not to me. i just got a 4ml sample of TPA cola syrup in the mail yesterday, and will try it out later tonight. excited to hear that it does have the fizzy element!

I'm glad to know the the "fizzy" note is there. I wonder how they mimmick that kick. I ordered some TPA cola(syrup) and rootbeer today. I can't wait to try different cola flavors and maybe a rootbeer float.

Sounds good Jewels. I don't have FA Cola or Vanilla Swirl so I think I'll try with the TPA Cola Syrup and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Thanks for sharing.

I have a 30ml bottle of Cola from FA.At first it smelled to perfumed.Its been sitting for a few months now and it really smells like RC Cola.I just let my wife smell it,I didn't tell her what kind it was.She said cola right off the bat.I asked her if it was a Coke smell and she said RC without even knowing what she was smelling.I guess it sitting for a long time it toned down the perfume smell.Now its a great cola smell.A long time to wait,but maybe now the steeping process won't be as long when I mix it.
