WF SC Snake Fruit at 2% is rather tasty. Not too sweet and tastes kinda like a mixed fruit to me.

FW Whiskey at 1% is not my idea of a good whiskey. I may do a mix with a higher % at some point but I don't have much hope for it.

I have FW Whiskey and I totally agree. I tried to see if it would get better, it didn't. I found as it develops it gets a slight oak-like note that might be useful at low % paired with a bourbon maybe. I can tell my bottle is going to last a long time.

    Thinking mine might just get piffed.

    I've done quite a few new mixes. One of them that I am most curious about is a gingerbread ice cream sandwich recipe I mixed. I don't know who posted this recipe originally.... I thought it might be @NotSoMini , apologies if I am mistaken. I switched it up a bit due to my inventory:

    Biscuit INW 1.5
    Gingerbread extra ginger TPA 4
    Graham Cracker CAP 2
    Meringue TPA .75
    Sweetener TPA .50
    VBIC CAP 3.5
    Vanilla Swirl 3

    It looks tasty on paper!

    I've been playing around with my graham cracker flavors quite a bit. Do any of you have a favorite(s)? I have about 6 or 7 different ones, all the ones I read were popular. So far the one that I find surprisingly authentic is by Flavor West. It most likely has to do with my percentage use, it's still a work in progress.

    TFA Graham Cracker Clear and Cap Graham Cracker are my most used.

    Here’s the recipe, you’ll probably want to lower the peppermint, especially if you sub ohm (I lowered the peppermint to 7% for a penguin mod. If I was using it as sub ohm, I’d go down to 4-5%. All TFA:
    creme de menthe 3%
    sweetener 2%
    Koolada 2.5%
    Menthol 2.5%
    Peppermint 7-10%

    My (well, HIC's) Kringle's Curse is just 10% FW Candy Cane and 0.5% of Koolada. Don't know how close HIC's really is to Halo's, but it ticks all the right boxes for me, so I mixed 90ml, after blowing through 50ml this past month. Will try out this one and compare, thanks! :)

    Flv Fried Dough at .5% has a nice Fried Dough taste but is way too sweet.I'm going to let it sit a bit more and see if the sweet settles down any.

    TFA Strawberry Yogurt at 3% is pretty tasty and too sweet of course but I can fix that with rhubarb or another less sweet fruit.

    Leaves me 6 to try next week and a few for 2nd tries.

    That sounds delish! I was trying to find interesting recipes I could use my creme de menthe in. I ended up using it in a shamrock shake recipe I found. The reviews for it were really good, all two of them.:)

    Somewhere between here and there
    I don’t really need to mix anything right now but will most likely run across something that I just have to. I really need to clean and recoil a couple of my tanks but not sure I’ll get to it tonight. I have to go out and mow and it’s 95 with 1000% humidity.

    I make the following for myself and a few friends. It's like an Andes candy, not an ice cream. We all "get" the Creme de Menthe on the inhale and the chocolates on the exhale. It won't help you use up very much of your CdM, but some anyway.

    Mint Chocolate Chip (all TFA)
    Creme de Menthe - 1.5%
    Vanilla Swirl - 4%
    DX Sweet Cream - 2.5%
    Milk Chocolate - 2%
    Bittersweet Chocolate - 1.5%
    Sweetener - 1.5% (optional to taste)

    Eggnog recipe, I've tried a few that I found online, at best they were ok. Here's what I think I'll try next:
    eggnog-flv-3%
    v.b.i.c.-cap-6%
    Maybe a drop or two of bourbon and/or rum.
    I need all the help I can get. Thanks

    I like this 1-2-3 Eggnog recipe by Silky:
    1% FLV Cream
    2% FA Custard Premium
    3% FLV Eggnog
    7 day steep

    I like your idea about adding some bourbon or rum to it. I have a bottle steeping now so next time I am going to give it a try.

    I think that is based on my version here on post #15

    Your favourite recipe

    But my version was based off of this one, originally posted by @NotSoMini Here.

    Likeness to Gingerbread Ice Cream Sammich

    It is an ADV for me now, the only thing I have thought of changing, is the sweetener from 1% TFA to .50% Cap Super Sweet. :)
