It gets sweet quick to me, especially with fruits. I’m remixing a couple recipes cutting it way down. I usually let it steep a week or two. Early is more floral to meThank you.I'll go light with it.
I just received mine via vape mail but haven’t had a chance to open yet, much less try. Is there something in particular you dislike about The drop or it’s just not for you, in general?
Sounds like a good flavor to mix with. Whose juniper berries are you referring to?
If I mixed this with pink champagne, in your opinion, would this be enough sweetness or perhaps half of the needed sweetness? I haven’t yet obtained WC but this looks and sounds tasty
For me, it is hard to get good flavor from the Drop. This seems to be a common problem and there are plenty of youtube videos on how to do it right. I haven't taken the time. I will say that the flavor of VTA's Blood Orange Champagne came through loud and clear in the Drop!
Gin is made from juniper berries.
FA Wine Champagne steeps into something resembling tonic water, or so I have read. I used FA Gin in the recipe but think that Pink Champagne could potentially improve it with the touch of berry and the fizz. I don't think it would be enough sweetener for the recipe though. It is very, very tart and PC is not that much sweeter than FA Champagne.
I haven't tried the FW Cream Soda. I have read some pretty negative reviews of the flavor but am sure there are many who like it. I chose the RF Soda Base SC because I wanted something without flavor that would give that perception of effervescence. FW Pink Champagne is my go-to for that but I am going to try Soda Base in my grapefruit mixes.
What percentage are you using Mel? If I want more floral than honeysuckle can deliver adding jasmine gets me there. Keep the jasmine below 2% if you want a softer floral note, start at 1% maybe. Fa honeysuckle 3% + FA jasmine 2% is my sweet spot, yours may be a bit lower.
I may dump this flavor again. How low do you have to mix this to keep it from being really Sweet?
I started the honeysuckle at 3%. The remix I did 2%+ jasmine same. Tried a touch today. Needs to sit a bit longer. But I’m getting closer
I mixed a Rhubarb Tea. I was going to skip the bit of Dairy Milk in it. Then figured I'd have to try it sooner or later so I went ahead with it.
I think part of my problem is it’s with fruits. I have a small cucumber/honeysuckle tester steeping. That’ll give me an idea. At 2% with fruits it’s better, but this mix has fig which takes a while to settle down to my taste buds. I’ll try it again next week
That sounds like something I would like. Any chance you can look up in your notes for a recipe?
I will look again...but I think I will have to order honeysuckle and re-figure ( Not sure if I have any, and not sure it would be good if I did)
I think it was
120ml bottle
2ml Honeysuckle
1ml Peach
2ml Apricot
1ml Marshmallow
and back then it would have been all TFA but the Marsh was from Alice in Vapeland....ummm...maybe it was Lorann
I think I missed that...LOL. Story of my life.
Dragged out 4 mixes to be tried next,Berry Sorbet,Fizzy Cuke and 2 tobacco blends.
Uh, the perception of effervescence.
I gathered, not something I have ever tried.
Is it a flavorless so you can use with anything ?
Oh man that took FOREVER. LOL. At least it's all in list form and like, identified. I have 114 flavors, I had no idea I had that many.
Fran, here's your tea recipe, and etc.
TFA: Black Tea 4% it's the dominant note
Flavor's Array: Jasmine Tea 2-3%
Signature Blends: Chai Tea- 1-2%-- this one kind of goes sweet and savory.
Flavorah: Condensed milk, 1%
If you use this recipe @FranC , I'm telling you, you probably won't want the condensed milk at ALL, I didn't remember that I used Chai Tea and I'm guessing that's going to be plenty sweet enough, I would seriously consider, adding something like Flavorah Hibiscus instead if you want a hint of sweet and probably like 0.5%.
Happy mixing OH GOD that lies ahead, think I will chill on the couch for a bit.
LOL.
I am in agreement with my former self, I don't need ANY more flavors other than more booze flavors. I NEED those. LOL.
