Sage Flavoring?

[Pheisty]

So I'm trying to develop a juice that tastes like the best after-dinner drink I ever had while vacationing in Las Vegas. It was called "Bridget Got Her Groove Back" and I ordered it at the Rhumbar outdoor bar at the Mirage. It has lime, coconut, simple syrup (sugar) and sage flavors in it. Sage was one of the major flavors that stood out in this drink, and I loved it.

Problem: I have yet to find a flavoring that tastes like sage. Anyone know if one exists?

I can't say that I've seen it, but I wonder if you could make one by putting sage in a little bit of PG...maybe wrap it in a coffee filter or something to make sort-of a tea bag out of it. I can't imagine you'd need a lot, though, so this would be likely to produce a lifetime supply.

You should be able to use the essential oil, provided you use it in very small quantities. Probably best to dilute it down in PGA before working with it. Nature's Flavors has organic and therapeutic grade essential oils, but I haven't really used essential oils much so I can't comment on the quality of those. Maybe check out this site on therapeutic grade essential oils: What makes an essential oil therapeutic grade?

The main chemical components of sage oil are a-pinene, camphene, b-pinene, myrcene, limonene, 1,8-cineole, a-thujone, b-thujone, camphor, linalool, bornyl acetate and borneol. - Sage oil (Salvia officinalis) - information on the origin, source, extraction method, chemical composition, therapeutic properties and uses.

Great idea! Thank you!

Do you think it's safe to vape? I mean, I know it's fine to eat, so my guess is it would be okay. Can you think of any reason why it wouldn't be?

EDIT: It looks like it can be pretty toxic, but Clary Sage Oil is not: http://www.essentialoils.co.za/essential-oils/clary-sage.htm#Precautions

You can smoke sage safely, so I would assume it's also safe to vape.

I'll guess you weight about 100 pounds, in which case the LD50 for sage would require you to ingest over 4 ounces, so you should be fine with a few drops over the course of a day (which is probably more than you'll need).

Great! Thanks, you guys.

I can't for the life of me remember who, but there is a supplier who sells lots of savory flavorings such as garlic, rosemary, etc. Someone will know who I am trying to remember...in the mean time I will continue to look thru my links

Yes, FlavourArt does: Catalogo - Flavourart. La sartoria degli aromi

However, it is carried in vegetable oil only, so do NOT use it.

I'm heartbroken that they're out of the anchovy.

FreedomsmokeUSA has thyme and oregano; maybe Pheisty can make one with her own twist on it.

I figured if anyone could find it, it would be Nik

And LOL Sins...anchovy. I was just fixing to post FSUSA but ya beat me to it!

Honestly I worry about people buying those because they are only available from FA in a vegetable oil base, which is dangerous to vape.

I noticed that as well. Some of the savory flavors are PG based and water soluable tho...this one got my curiosity up Might make a great summer vape if you love cucumbers as I do.

Ooooooo! I LOVE cucumbers!! I may have to order some of that.

Which? The savory category or the thyme and oregano? Probably a stupid question, but I'm guessing these would be used in miniscule amounts. What would make them more inherently dangerous than a peppermint oil or one of the other oil flavorings that can be diluted down in a PGA?

And, for the record, I will personally make a heartfelt vow not to vape the anchovy, even if proves to be vegetable oil free.

I'm still recovering from my cinnamon extravaganza. I don't even want to think what anchovy would have done to my respiratory system. Can lungs vomit?

Waaahahahaha!!! You crack me up, sins.

Personally, I love anchovies...but dam...can't even think of vaping them!
