Last week I mixed 6 boosy flavors and the week before I mixed 6 boosy flavors. Haven't tried them all yet. Today I mixed an assortment of flavors.Some are out of my norm but been into trying new stuff lately.
OK,new question. It has come to my attention that I have Butter pecan in PUR and FW. Anybody have recipe suggestion,ideas or anything? I don't recall doing anything with them as yet.
The only one I have is TFA Plum. People complained it wasn't sweet enough. Also one person said it was chalky. I didn't get the chalkiness personally. I did it with Pur ST. And I liked it a lot. It wasn't overly sweet. I also tried it on it's own but it wasn't that good by itself.
Taste is subjective but if folks don't think it's sweet enough that's good enough for me. Thanks
I wondered about it when I first started DIY and noticed that many vendors all carried TFA, CAP, FA, FW, etc., and on all of them...each flavoring kept its original manufacturer's brand name...whether they rebottled it or not. Then I ran across ECX and noticed that they called theirs "Signature" (Fa). It wasn't even Signature (TFA)...just (Fa). I wondered why they'd do that, when none of the others did it. I couldn't think of any possible reason why they wouldn't just use the TFA brand name, too...unless they couldn't, because it wasn't the original TFA flavoring any more. Only thing I could come up with was they called it "Signature" because it was their own Signature version of the TFA flavoring, but they couldn't even say that (maybe legally because of copyright issues), and used (Fa).
Just seems kind of odd to me, especially since no one else that I've run across does it, and they don't do it for the other well-known brands, too, (ie. CAPELLA could be "Capri" (Cap) or something, etc.).
I don't buy flavorings from them myself, for that reason and a couple others. So I don't know if they're the same. But IMO it's suspicious...ie. there's a reason it isn't, or can't be, called just TFA like on other websites.

I had Pur butter pecan, and it honestly doesn’t compare to FW. I really like Ry4D 6% and butter pecan 2%.
I’ve also done the same mix, and added some TFA pistachio. Also, a tiny bit of (any) cream/custard will work too.
I’d imagine FA Soho and butter pecan would also be delightful.
It is funny that I don't drink at all but have become a boozy mixer.
I love my Fizzy Sea Breeze and Fizzy Bay Breeze mixes - both are better after a few days steep. The Sea Breeze (grapefruit) was decent as a S&V, but turned into something rather wonderful after three days. The Bay Breeze (pineapple) needed the steep - the pineapple didn't show up much at all until day 3. The Gin Breeze also benefits from a few days sitting so that everything can blend and bloom. I am really enjoying these mixes. Can't wait to try the Champagne Pomegranate Sparkler - my other Pom should be here tomorrow. I want to make some very minor changes to the three I mentioned, try out the Sparkler, the Margarita, and a fabulous sounding Raspberry Fro-yo (booze-free), so hopefully, I can mix tomorrow evening. I am having some work done in the kitchen (should be finished tomorrow) so it is hard to mix during the day. I will let them all sit for at least three days and report back here. What a fun thread you started @FranC! Thank you!Maybe I will start a bootleg juice line and call it "Dive Bar." LOL
FW Blood Orange is the best, IMO. I actually prefer other citrus fruits to orange. LOVE FW's Ruby Red Grapefruit!!! Their Blood Orange is a winner too!
Thanks for the tip! I will try that. Also, have read that pear at .25% add juiciness. I wish that I didn't taste Aloe with the Cactus. I guess I am just one of those people.

I don't get juicy from pear but do use it to add a soft sweet note. I love pear forward juice.FW Blood Orange is the best, IMO. I actually prefer other citrus fruits to orange. LOVE FW's Ruby Red Grapefruit!!! Their Blood Orange is a winner though!

FLV Pink Guava has juiciness to it, so is great in a grapefruit mix. Also, it is magical to me - as long as you don't pick up banana like my son does. Some people pick up a strawberry note, some a pineapple note - I just get a flavorful grapefruit.
I really need to mix a single with the pink guava. I've just been adding a bit here and there to a few mixes. It plays very well with many flavors and is good in floral mixes.
