    To SMT, I've been working on a coconut milk recipe, have had some success but always room for improvement.
    Bavarian cream-tfa-.5%
    Cheesecake on graham-ssa-1%
    Coconut-fa-.75%
    Sweet coconut-flv-1.75%
    Fresh cream-fa-.5%
    Meringue-fa-.5%
    I've thought about adding some chocolate for a chocolate coconut milk.
    It seems as if not too many are interested in coconut milk. If you are in a helping mood, please fire away, if not ignore this post.

    I remember you posting about this profile back in June. Sorry it took me a bit to reply, I went back to look at what you previously did with this in June, August and September. You've been through a few revisions.

    How do like the mix you just posted???

    If you like it as is, then I would add whatever chocolate you like and go from there.

    Is the recipe you just posted coconut forward/heavy???
    If so, is that what you want???

    What didn't you like about having CAP Vanilla Milk Froth in it???

    If I were to make a Coconut Milk, or to try and improve upon what you already have, I would start with what you have because you've been developing this for quite some time. And because you've mentioned liking one or two of your previous versions.

    Every now and then I buy Silk Coconut Milk. They probably have it out by you??? To my palate it has a decent/rich coconut flavor. The coconut is very noticeable, to me.

    Using your recipe as my starting point, mine would look like this........

    FA Milk 1% ---> that will make it more "milky", like a true store bought coconut milk IRL
    TFA Bavarian Cream 0.5%
    FA Fresh Cream 0.5%
    FA Coconut 0.75% ---> might boost it to 1%
    FLV Sweet Coconut 1.5%
    SSA Cheesecake On Graham 1%
    FA Meringue 0.5% ---> I'm thinking that's here to sweeten the mix???

    I would also add 0.5% - 0.7% FLV Cream, to add body and fill it out more. And then remove FA Fresh Cream from the mix.

    If you don't have FA Milk, then I would suggest going back to CAP Vanilla Milk Froth and raise it to 2% - 3%. It has a vanilla milk-like taste to it (sort of). It's just not a straight-up milk flavor like FA Milk or VTA Milk Fresh.

    If you truly desire a coconut "milk" like taste then you will need FA Milk or VTA Milk Fresh. Both are really good. My preference is FA Milk.

    Bull City has FA Milk in-stock. I honestly think FA Milk will get you closest to a real, and decent, tasting coconut milk.

    Once you get the basic coconut milk recipe to your liking, then add your favorite chocolate "to taste".

    Also, once you nail the basic coconut milk profile (minus chocolate), you will be able to add 1 or 2 fruits to it, for something a little different.

    Lemme know, and I will be happy to help more on this, if you want.

    I hope I've given you something that will bring you closer to what you are looking for. :)

    Thank you for your reply, I truly appreciate it. I have tried a few coconut milk mixes and liked both. My goal is to try to make it better, again thank you very much.

    Ha! I didn't notice it was censored. Combine hero and in, and you'll have your answer.

    Ha, then @FranC and @englishmick were correct, and I was soooooo wrong!!! Ain't the first time and it won't be the last. :lol:

    But yes, another great song, and still a favorite of mine as well.....

    Then I really don't care anymore
    About all the jim-jims in this town
    And everybody putting everybody else down
    And all of the politicians makin' crazy sounds



    The only band I referred to was the Velvet Underground.

    Got it. Thank you. I had fun with it. And I knew you weren't 15 in '88. :greengrin:

    Ewwwww, Spam............. gross!!! Yuck

    My Dad loved Spam, said he ate it a lot when he was deployed over in Europe during WWII. He used to fry it along with sliced potatoes nearly every Friday when I was a kid. I hated it and eventually refused to eat it, ate the potatoes though. Pretty sure Spam is what made me go vegetarian/vegan in my teens, along with all the other meats.

    Her and I do eat fish occasionally, so no longer 100% veg. DD2 and her wife are strict vegans. DD1 and her hubs are straight-up vegetarians.

    Haha, I guess I'm a little light?
    I was thinking more of an accent...

    I don't vape tobacco flavors, but my thinking is WF VRC combined with FLV RB might drown-out FW BR. The butterscotch in FW BR is not very strong compared to the cream in it.

    IDK, like I said, I don't do tobacco's. So, nevermind, you know your tobacco's.

    I do know how to enhance the butterscotch experience though. :greengrin:

    Oh, it might very well get buried, you know flavors better than I do for sure as I'm still finding my way! (including tobaccos!)
    I could boost it with another butterscotch (or caramel? I think that I saw you combine them before?) or replace it with a better pairing. (well, next version)
    The creamy bit of it might not really be necessary.
    What were you thinking to perk it up a bit?

    Good luck with your mix. I know nothing about butterscotch. Never liked it.
