If you haven't mixed it yet, consider dropping the peach (maybe add other berries instead)
Too late, the deed is done. Smells good, but that's no reliable indicator of taste. I'll try it out tomorrow, and see what's what.

First time using Euro Red Passionfruit, got a drop on my finger, smells luscious (can something smell luscious, maybe it's passionate, IDK?)

Anyway, thanks for the responses everyone.

I do small 10ml test batches of flavors. Sometimes, after doing taste tests I just throw all the leftovers (mostly fruits) together and call it "mutt mix" (someone else used that term... I just borrowed it) Sometimes (to my surprise) it's not bad. You might stumble onto something (hope you didn't mix 100ml of it) I do impulsive stuff too ;)

    Hello random folk. I'm trying to stretch out my menthol to make it last until I can order more menthol crystals. I have 120mL of TFA Peppermint. What fruits mix well with peppermint in y'alls experience? Only had success combining chocolates and menthol in the past. Advice is much appreciated.

    I have a mix with Blackberry,peppermint and a bit of menthol.

    GOOD Morning Random Mixers!

    I finally moved all my store bought juices away from where I sit, guess they were like a safety blanket in case my juices sucked. LOL But they don't so away with you! :D
    Glad you're having such good luck. :)

    Good morning. I am debating on whether to go to the store before things get worse. 1st confirmed death in my area yesterday.
    Just wear gloves and a mask if you've got them. My Mom had "wants" not "needs" yesterday but I didn't go to the store. Dad wanted pimento cheese. :blink: Nope...not gonna do it Dad. "Out there" scares me. I want to limit it. Be safe! I will eventually have to go if they extend working from home and I bet they do since Trump ordered an extension of social distancing until the end of April. This is just horrible.

    I worked in the yard again yesterday. There is something about Spring that is so refreshing. Cleaning up everything. The flowers...I have a ton of yellow irises and some purple. Got all the leaves off the driveway where they collect in the corners. It was a beautiful day here in Alabama yesterday. Not too hot, not too cold with the sun shining and blue skies. ahhhhhh

    I am amazed with all this time at home that I haven't thrown myself into mixing. Maybe today I'll mix something up. I want to make more aged bourbon cream and to try hazulnut cream. :drool:

    See if your store has curbside service. I used it for the 1st time on Friday and it is no contact. Walmart was out of everything so I went to Food Lion. I think I will use that service from now on even when the crisis is gone.

    Good morning. We are supposed to be on lockdown until April 24 anyway so the Trump announcement doesn't change much for us. There have been 48 cases in the county where I work and 11 cases in my home county. I have talked to others that are in the same business as we are and they are no longer letting customers into their stores. Instead they are taking phone orders and sitting the merchandise on a table for the customer to pick up. I really do like my boss but think that he is being a little greedy by letting customers inside still. One of the other employees asked him why we are still letting people inside and he basically said that in case they see something else they need. To me that's about the almighty dollar. I am glad that I spend most of the day in the shop by myself. So in a way I am self quarantined. The cases in our state went up by about 80 in one day from Saturday to Sunday. I feel like my boss could be doing more to keep the other employees safer.

    No curbside here. I was wondering if anyone is concerned that the virus could be on the food packages like some are concerned about mail.

    ETA: I think Publix does curbside, I will have to check that out.

    Yeah I have wondered that also, so I try to wipe down the outside of packages with a clorox wipe. Other than totally putting contents into your own package I saw no other option.

    Yes. I've been wiping or spraying everything. Then bathing or washing up after that. I personally like going in. Every time I go in I see something else I forgot I needed...or to get surprises for Mom and Dad. But I've only gone once since I initially stocked up. Curbside sounds nice though. Dad also sprayed or wiped everything I took them. I throw away all the bags too. I normally save them for cleaning the cat litter. :eek:

    Over 250 cases in my county. Exponential growth. Crazy people need to heed the warnings.
