This is not really a clone. I'm pretty sure TKO by Clutch is a just Lorann's Lemonade and Raspberry, considering the color of the mixture and it's potency. This is just a really great Raspberry Lemonade that people who like TKO will like.
The Lemon sicily, juicy lemon, Lime cold pressed make up the lemonade flavor. It's a very "real" and sweet lemonade with some layers to them. Lemon Sicily is one of FA weaker flavors, and lemon itself is often overpowered easily, that is why I had to use a higher than normal %. Obviously the Raspberry Koncetrat is the raspberry flavor, which when paired with lemon, really brightens it and makes it much more crisp, not tart. I really love the flavor from it. The Meringue just tones down the harshness and sweetens the fruits a little, like adding a little packet of sugar in your lemonade. The champagne adds a little fizz and bubble, not much though. The sour is used to make everything a touch more tart and well sour. I really wish this recipe was more sour, almost mouth puckering, but I am still working on how to get there. The EM just rounds out the whole recipe and sweetens another notch. You can also add in some koolada, for sure, or to really set it off add in a little green apple or FA Fuji to really add some complexity, Just an overnight steep is necessary to really bring everything together and allow the lemons to bloom and the rasp to chill.
I made this juice a little bit ago and didn't really think to post it since Lemonades are pretty easy to figure out on your own. But I got a couple emails from people asking what lemon flavors I use to make lemonades. So I decided to post it to show you how I make mine. I also wanted to use INW Rasp again so people who wanted to try my Rhodonite recipe had another recipe to use it in. I hope you guys like it. Keep Mixin
