Strawberry flavoring

[madstabber]

I bought some commercial juice that is a strawberry milk and liked it. I usually don’t do fruits but have decided to try to diy a tasty fruit juice for when the mood strikes me and need a recommendation. Who makes the best strawberry? Not a candy but more like a natural flavor. Something that mixes well with cakes or cookies would be great. So please give me some direction on what strawberry to buy and feel free to add any other fruit you think is really a standout. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I primarily use TFA Strawberry Ripe and INW shisha strawberry, for me these two blended are a good all around sb.

OSDIY also carries a Succulent Strawberry flavoring that I really like. Also TFA Strawberry ripe and FA Strawberry are good together.

In Wllmc Juicy Strawberry Cheesecake he uses FA Juicy Strawberry & Shisha Strawberry one of my fav recipes.

So many strawberries so little time ...

Some great advice above.

2 parts Straw Ripe(TFA) and 1 part Sweet Straw (CAP) plus 1/4 part dragon fruit (TFA) is my go-to "strawberry" flavour.
Ina Shisha straw is good, FA straw also.
Not a fan of TFA "strawberry".
I use strawberry only in mixes and tend to stay in the 5%-8% range.
I shake and vape them, however I find they benefit from a few days aging to mellow the bite/sharpness of the fruit.

Real Flavors SC Strawberry. When I want a strawberry milk I mix it with OSDIY Strawberry Milk (which is too light on the SB for me). 10% OSDIY, 2% RFSC.
Other that that, I'm partial to Inawera fruits. Two Apple, Pear (any of them except for the Duos), Peach (maybe with a little FA White Peach thrown in to made it more tasty)...I could go on but those are the main ones. Those would be the regular house line, notnotnot Wera Garden line. Those are icky.

Real Flavors Strawberry Milkshake. Not sure how much for the super concentrate (SC), but for the vg I use 10% as a standalone. One if my favorites.

You’re a great bunch of folks, thank you for your time and opinions. So many flavors, so little money. Time to start loading up my shopping cart. Hopefully by the time I make my final cuts there will be a sale running.

Ok I’m gonna get TFA strawberry ripe, inawera shisha strawberry, and I like flavourart so I think I want one of theirs.
If you had to pick, FA strawberry or juicy strawberry?

Also how about a mixed berry or combination fruit flavoring
Anything that stands out as particularly tasty?

I love oranges, I don’t know why I just realized that I’d probably like an orange tasting juice. How about a tangy citrus orange flavoring, do we have a favorite??

This stuff is Pretty Tasty.

One Stop Flavors - Blue Raspberry Slush - 30mL

It can be used as a Stand Alone. Or you can use it as a Base.

A few Drops of Pineapple gives a Nice Zing.

I would go with FA Juicy Strawberry. Have you tried FA Forest Fruit?

Thank you I think I will. I mean if someone offers me a strawberry or a juicy strawberry, it’s a pretty easy choice. I like my strawberries juicy. I haven’t tried forest fruit, I’ll assume you would recommend it though. The description sounds good but then again most do. Thank you everyone for your suggestions, they are greatly appreciated.

I tried it in this recipe & the recipe is fantastic! I left out the sweetner.

FA Forest Fruit is a great berry blend of (mostly) dark berries, that has a tart/not-sweet profile. If you use a second berry concentrate (strawberry, blueberry, boysenberry, blackberry, etc.); you can "bend" the Forest Fruit, and bring that second fruit to center stage.

My introduction to Forest Fruit came from one of @Capt.shay's recipes: Berry Berry Good.
Berry Berry Good

VBIC(TFA).................6%
Marshmellow(TFA).......2%
Forest Fruit(FA)..........4%
Raspberry Sweet(TFA)..1%
Strawberry Ripe(TFA) 0.5% (one half percent)

I personally like a little less of the VBIC (4-5%); and have riffed all sorts of combinations for the raspberry, and strawberry. It (and its variations) have remained in my regular rotation for more than a year now.

@madstabber for oranges my top picks would be:
FW blood orange natural
FA blood orange (more a regular orange than blood orange)
INW shisha orange
Cap tangy orange (good for a Creamsicle mix)
WF tangerine
FW orange natural (plain good all around orange, better with a longer steep)

Thank you for your orange picks. I’ve never had a blood orange so I’m not familiar with the flavor. I’m gonna have to get Cap tangy orange because it just sounds so good. I’ll probably get one more and I’m thinking WF tangerine just because they are just tasty little oranges.

If you have considered a one shot, Rose Milk by Diy or Die is a very good strawberry.

Blood oranges are super sweet and yummy!
