Your thoughts on mixing %??The idea is percolating in my head right now. I will share once it percolates a bit more. Also, I will check my TFA Cranberry tester - it is well steeped by now. I tested it freshly made so will compare against my notes and get back to you.
How about a Cranberry Pom Forest Fruit Sorbet?
Your thoughts on mixing %??
@PJReid If you did a cranberry tester I'll hold off on mine til you try yours. If you tell me it's still tart then I'll have to mix my own.
Yes I suppose I will....LOL. The bitter you describe is tart to me. So if that steeps out it leaves sweet. Yup I gotta mix a tester.These are my original notes on the single flavor test:
TFA
The only change I would make to those notes after the steep is that it seems a bit thicker and a bit juicier - just a bit. It is still tart with a light sweetness but the bitter steeped out. Tastes delicious to me. Guess you will have to do your own test. Sorry.
- Cranberry
I tested this one at 8%. It is a more realistic cranberry than the FLV, which might change with a steep for the FLV. It has a moderately dense mouthfeel. It is bitter and tart with a light sweetness. Rather thin and reminiscent of unsweetened cranberry juice. It isn’t juicy so will need some help from a juicier fruit in a mix. Probably will need a sweetener as well depending on the fruit. In a mix, 3-4% will give a tart cranberry flavor. This is the better of the two cranberry flavors for a shake & vape recipe.
Thank you. Gives me basic ideaHmm - maybe something like this:
Cranberry (TPA) 3%
Forest Fruit (FA) 3%
Lemon Sicily (FA) .75%
Pomegranate (FA) 0.75%
Pomegranate (TPA) 4%
Sorbet Base (VT) 2%
Sweetener 0.50%
WS-23 30% 0.50%
That sounds tasty, I'll give it a try next time. Thanks.I use FA Forest Fruit a lot. Mixed a little FA Fuji apple with it and I love it.

Should be interestingIn case you were wondering, I also retested the FLV Cranberry and it still tastes like dirt. It is VERY earthy. I haven't tried the Cranberry Gin and Tonic I made with the FLV - it needs a few more days. I added some Liquid Amber to that batch to "cook" the cranberry. We shall see.
Good thing ya didn't blink twice.Darn, I blinked and Im 5 pages behind
Thank you, with the handful of lemons and limes I have I can probably find a nice balance for a sorbet one shot mix.@Letitia - Wayne's Blackcurrant Sorbet recipe is on All The Flavors. I missed it when I looked yesterday.
Blackcurrant Sorbet
I still think he uses too much CAP Lemon Lime but maybe it works better with strong flavors like Black Currant, Blackberry, etc. IDK
I used it at 6% and had to let it steep for quite a while.Thank you, with the handful of lemons and limes I have I can probably find a nice balance for a sorbet one shot mix.
I'm not crazy about premixed lemon lime favors, I like the balances I come with from mix to mix. Sometimes you want more of one than the other.I used it at 6% and had to let it steep for quite a while.
I've never used any of Waynes Recipes. Not up my alley. But I have gotten a few for tweaking.@Letitia - Wayne's Blackcurrant Sorbet recipe is on All The Flavors. I missed it when I looked yesterday.
