Random DIY mixing and More

[IDJoel]

My first glass bottle order was directly from GBO. When I needed more they were goind to charge me over 20.00 for shipping for 24 120ml glass. Amazon free shipping isn't prime, if you spend 25.00 shipping is free if the product is eligible. Overall my 24 120ml from the GBO amazon store cost just over half of what I would have paid ordering direct.

Thank you!

I figured you had more recent knowledge than I did. I never trust my adolescent blue-hair memory!

I can discern no difference in quality of the bottles or packaging between the two.

With a vendor like GBO; I would expect nothing less. They have always struck me as a classy operation.

I can post the ones I feel are successful here, on the Boozy thread, or PM. What works best for you?

Boozey thread please! (Even though you weren't asking me.) Other inquiring minds want to know too!!

If you are just looking to enhance the cranberry maybe just .25% of either.did you try using a little of the Pur cranberry orange in any of the testers?

No, didn’t think of it.

I did a little drop on the end of my finger test with the Gin and tonic. The Tonic Water very bitter and the Botanical Gin has a nice flavor.

I believe a simple Gin and tonic is on the agenda for tomorrow.

I think you could get by with mixing 3 or 4% of each, adding a squirt of some kind of lime and some coolant and you would have a satisfying Gin & Tonic.

I'm thinking so. A good start anyway. Thinking Cranberry on the Rocks will follow.

My personal favorite is Cranberry Gin on the Rocks.

Oh and I did like the little drop of the Gin I tasted.Very different from the FA.

I'm hoping my G&T and other flavors arrive soon too! I head off for vacation again next Wed. The husband will be home until Thursday or Friday. Fingers crossed, I'm just over the 2 week mark now.

I did a little mixing on my last vac (ABC, Pom Pudding, and a few others). I need to clean more bottles to get set for the next trip Of course, I don't have Aurora and neither does BCF. I like the sound of the Cranberry Gin on the Rocks.

I hope you get your order in time. Mine took 14 days.

That's what gives me hope that it will show up before I leave. I'm at 15 days now and ready to start stalking the mailman!

Aurora is special, IMO. Nothing else is quite like it. That said, the Cranberry Gin on the Rocks is good with FA Lime Tahity cold pressed and the distilled, used together. Sub Distilled for the Aurora (start at .25% of the Distilled) and it will be similar. EcigExpress carries FA Aurora.

Hey @FranC

How about some ideas of what I can do with this RF Aged Bourbon Cream?

I love marzipan, and the flavoring smells divine in the bottle, but when I made juice with it I couldn't taste marzipan at all. I mixed some up with vanilla and it did seem to add something to the vanilla taste though.

Anyway, I just loaded up a tank with some Vanilla Marzipan juice I made back in March and hadn't touched since. The marzipan came through really good, for the first time ever.

That is probably the longest I have kept that flavor sitting around. Not sure because I only started keeping a good record of mixes end of last year. I wonder if marzipan is a flavor that needs a really long steep, or maybe there's another explanation.

Nut cookie with abc icing? ABC glazed pears? ABC pineapple milkshake?
