I will happily share the recipes once I have nailed them down. The VTA Botanical Gin is impressive. The Tonic tastes like tonic water. I am amazed! I am trying the second Gin Fizz now and it is, to my taste, much better without the meringue. After I try the third one, I will know which direction to take it.

If you want a simple Gin & Tonic, 4% VTA Botanical Gin, 3% VTA Tonic, .5% Lime (I used FA Lime Tahity - Cold-Pressed - the VTA Persian Lime would be great,) and .5 to 1% WS-23 or Koolada.

Oooh! I ordered Persian Lime too. This order might almost make it worthwhile to come back from vacation

I expect the 30ml sizes I bought will last me a long time but it would be great if BCF would start carrying them anyway.

With all of the idea swirling around in my head, I am afraid that 30ml isn't going to last nearly as long as it should. I am still loving my Gin Fizz today. Even better with fresh taste buds. Now I want to add basil, make Cranberry and Gin, a French 75, a Basil Gimlet - it doesn't end.

Well, that was fast!

"Hello Pamela,

We are working on getting the whole VT Line, so I will let them know there is interest in these flavors and they will add them to the list. Thank you for the suggestions.

Thanks,

Jessica "

I'll be needing those recipes when you have them.

Butterscotch ended up being less sweet in the end. I might try it with cheesecake. Maybe add pecan or something? Nutty sounds good with those two. Of course, I only have almond

What is your recipe?

@PJReid Thinking smaller snv recipes for the Pom and Cranberry so they can be vaped while they're the best.

What is your recipe?

Take this with a grain of salt, it’s the first “draft”. I use more flavor than you, and I can take a bit more sweet than you. Oooh, and it’s in ml baased on a 30 ml bottle. It’s easier to adjust that and figure out the % when I get the recipe where I want it
Smoked butterscotch 1.2ml
Italian cream .3ml
TFAA ky bourbon .9ml
Meringue .5ml

I'm really liking the pudding base and pomegranate mix. I think I'm going to go ahead and make a bigger bottle this weekend.

What % did you mix for both flavors?

 

[hittman]

Pomegranate 4%
Pudding 6%

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

Pomegranate 4%
Pudding 6%

Thanks Hitt.

 

[hittman]

You could probably go lower on the pudding if you want the pomegranate to stand out more.

Thanks I was planning to make it lower to start out with......

I revisited the smoked butterscotch/ ky bourbon. At 4 weeks it was very butterscotch forward, not much else. I was going to toss it, but put it back intending to tweak. Tried it yesterday @7 weeks, wow! I’m loving it. Needs a little tweak, but butterscotch laid down, italian cream popped up and bourbon is lightly there finally. May remix adding a touch of whiskey and oak wood and mark it for oct 1

Now if I could find a sub for that Butterscotch..............

A sub for butterscotch is going to be fun to figure out

Do you have butterscotch ripple?

I don't have butterscotch anything. Too sweet.
