Thanks for reopening this.
Good luck.

This looks interesting. Have you ever had a Gin and Tonic with mint as a garnish? Very refreshing, especially on a hot summer’s day. Not sure how menthol would transition into a G&T inspired e-juice, I am new to DIY and still finding my footing, but I think a spearmint or something similar might work well. Throwing ideas out there!!
If you are feeling "herbal;" FLV Basil plays nicely with both gin and rum. Mojitos translate well to vaping. And, the rum/mint combo pairs easily with fruits, like pomegranate, blueberry, etc..Have you ever had a Gin and Tonic with mint as a garnish?
That'd take some creativity. The challenges, as I see it, are the egg white, and the orange flower water. There are no direct concentrate equivalents that I am aware of. Meringue might(?) cover the silky thickness egg white adds, as well as kiddie in for the simple syrup component. Orange flower water, is something I have not personally come across. But, just spit-balling; I am thinking, just a hint of orange, with a compliment of honeysuckle, to add that floral note.But I have never seen a Ramos Gin Fizz inspired e-juice.

The rest: cream, lemon, lime, gin, and soda water (fizz); seems quite doable. though, with that many ingredients, I can see it still taking some time (and many testers), to get the balance right.![]()

The Orange Flower Water is more of an aroma than adding anything to the flavour of the cocktail. Not exactly a garnish, which also adds a visual effect to the cocktail, but like a garnish you can pick up the aroma as you bring the drink toward your face. Many bars, at least the ones willing to put forth the effort to make the drink, do not use the flower water cause just a drop too much can destroy the drink. It’s potent stuff. I use it at home, but do not use it at dinner/cocktail parties where I am forced by friends to make the drink. Don’t know if an orange flavour would give that aroma or add to the flavour which I guess could also be beneficial. Vanilla extract is another ingredient that is not always added
As for the egg whites – good idea on the meringue. The cocktail does call for simple syrup so perhaps a sweet meringue would be the ticket.
I think you could probably start with .25% of your favorite orange or blood orange. 2% RF Soda Base gives fizz and the simple syrup. 4% VTA Botanical Gin is where I would start. CAP Lemon-Lime at 4% gives you the lemon and lime flavor. I would throw in .5% to 1% FA Aurora because it is magical for fizz and icy lime flavor. Meringue at 1-2% and maybe even Marshmallow at 1% for the frothy texture. Add FA Cream Fresh at 1% to 2% and 1 to 2% of a heavy, sweet cream flavor - VTA Sweet Cream, a Whipped Cream flavor, or even TFA Vanilla Swirl or WF Tahitian Vanilla Cream if you want the vanilla in there. No idea what you would end up with but this is my best guess for a starting point.
Hmm so just to be clear this is just flavors and u won't get wasted right cause if you do I'm out. I used to love a mixed drink. Only one though.
Ok I'm in I'm going to order some tequila orange juice and dangit whats that red, grenadine. Surprise my future ex wife with a tequila son rise or maybe a pina colada
