So, another question... I was under the impression that DX flavors are simply made without “undesirables” but taste the same for the most part. I’ve recently noticed mixers stating DX taste better sometimes (TFA pomegranate) and vice versa. For someone not concerned with the DX aspect but only the actual flavor, are they different enough you might actually need both the original and the DX versions?

    I don't find them different "enough"

    WS23 .5%
    BlackBerry TFA 1%

    They are not the same thing. I never noticed that BCF didnt carry it but NR does. The DX is my favorite of the pom flavors
    I don't find them different "enough"
    Dc99’s is one of the ones that got me thinking. Good to know though. Thanks!

    Try it and let me know if the CAP Lemon Lime works with the berries at 5.5%. I can tell you it doesn't work with pineapples and I used three and made them strong!
    Being that TFA blackberry is so strong, I’m wondering if it might benefit from a bit. Though I should probably follow the recipe the first time around.

    Most I cant tell a lot of difference in. Some are worse, some are better. It stands to reason that if you could make every flavor without the "undesirables" and make it taste the same there would be no need for undesirables. Sometimes it depends on the percentages used as to whether there is a difference or not. In the case of pom there is a difference for me anyway.

    Boozy apricots sounds like something I’d like to try. Do you mind sharing your recipe?

    It's actually a pretty simple mix I've tried various iterations as it were...

    FA Brandy 3%, FA Peach 1%, Purilum Mango 1% (mango makes everything better!) FW Apricot 4%.

    I've added either Toasted Marshmallow or Silverline whipped marshmallow. (0.5--1%)

    I drop sweetener (Supersweet) per 30 ml. You can forgo the sweetener unless you like sweet mixes like me. LOL.
