I ordered VTA Botanical Gin and VTA Tonic on the ChefsFest promo. I chose untracked shipping, so probably won't see the flavors for 10 days at best. I will review them when they arrive. Excited about the Botanical Gin!

I gave up on that Vodka. I'll be interested in your findings.@FranC - from reading posts on the Chefs Flavours FB page and from reading my new friend Liam's flavor notes, I think we used the VTA Russian Vodka way too low. He says it gets boozy and tastes like vodka at 5%. As soon as I find a minute or two, I will retest my Sea Breeze and Bay Breeze cocktail recipes at 5%. IIRC, I used 1 or 2% when I first tried them out.
Are there any USA vendors, besides Bull City, that are currently selling VTA concentrates? Bull has a pretty good selection; but they are not complete. I am starting to build my Labor Day sales lists and am looking for options. (I am aware of Chef's Flavours, and VTA direct from AU, but doubt they will be doing anything for a US-specific holiday.)
Thank you, PJ. Though I am loathe to do much on FB; I did exactly that earlier this evening. I am now waiting for my acceptance.If you join the Chefs Flavours FB page, they do run sales and there is a discount for their FB page members.
Looks good! How’d it come out?Tasted my VTA toffee ice cream sf (mixed the 12th) and can tell I'll be wanting a larger bottle of this one. Very good but need an added toffee boost, mixed this up before work.
HS caramel toffee 1.5%
FA cookie biscotto .5%
FE oak milk 1.5%
WF(SC) sugar cone 2%
VTA toffee IC 3.5%
Added it to my mixing list but had to sub WF(SC) Sugar Cone with WF(SC) Crepe & .25% CAP SS. After seeing this though, I dropped oak milk & SS and added FW Butter Pecan. I didn’t see a name for it so I saved it as Toffee Ice Cream Cone. I have a love affair with toffees So now I have...It's pretty good but needs trimmed. Mixed a little with my FW butter pecan sft and it rounded it out some. Working on v2 and v3 recipes. Think I'll drop the oak milk and sugar cone, touch too sweet for this mix. Will try waffle cone instead. thinking one with Italian cream and one with waffle cone.
