Pistachio Lassi
8JIPZOB.jpg

​
Lassi - a blend of yogurt, water or milk and spices, with ice. Sometimes with fruit or nuts. A popular drink from the Indian Subcontinent.
Several recipes of the real drink served as inspiration for this recipe.

It is perfect for my taste - fragrant, creamy and sweetish with the Pistachio always there, but not overwhelming. With ice of course.

FLV Greek Yogurt with FA Yogurt combines perfectly for the yogurt base. Any possibly associated off notes are eradicated by OOO Cream Milky Undertone without taking away from the essential yogurt character. I wanted a full cream milk and, remembering @RichJB's review of OOO Cream Milky Undertone, just knew it would be perfect. FA Honey imparts just enough sweet without becoming overly discernible as honey on the taste. FA Bergamot, Rose and Saffron are understated and manifest as "pleasantly fragrant". Adjust FA Polar Ice to your own taste preferences in respect of how much or how little cool you want.

Mine steeped for 30 days, but 10 days should probably be good.

I smashed through a bottle of this on the weekend. It is very good. Unique, but still easy-going thus adv material.

Thank you for the recipe @Andre , this will definitely have to be in my rotation.
 
Something for summer. LB Blue Raspberry is well worth getting, even though it needs a high percentage to get the job done.

Blue Raspberry Lemonade

1.10% Black Ice
8.00% Blue Raspberry (LB)
0.75% Hypnotic Myst (FA)
1.00% Jelly Candy (CAP)
1.50% Lemon Lime Soda (SC) (WF)
1.00% Lemon Shisha (INAWERA)

Flavor total: 13.35%

Morning Glory
A stunning creamy vanilla coffee kissed with a hint of caramel and a touch of biscuit.

The hunt for a smooth, slightly sweet, caramel coffee has been, as any DIY’er will know, one of the most difficult feats to pull off. Enter Cafe Napoleon... this baby has none of the skunky coffee off notes and delivers, as per the DFS a ‘sweet and satisfying caramel infused coffee” - and they weren’t twisting the truth... This is not an in-your-face shot of espresso but rather a homage to coffee, highlighting its delicate flavours.

The Cafe Napoleon lays the foundation here and is deservedly given a loving embrace by Holy Holy Grail which adds a delectable, but subtle, RY4 note which instantly propelles it from great to freakin fantastic!

Vanilla, in my opinion, is essential for a morning pick-me-up and gives this baby the legendary Holy Vanilla treatment...yuminess!

The biscuit adds a touch of texture without detracting from the protagonist and sits very well here at 1%.

The custard enrobes the ensemble of flavours and ads a velvety smoothness and mouth feel to thrust this baby into atmospheric proportions!

A week will be enough for all the flavours to rise to the occasion but 2 will give you a morning glory, and then some...

I don't know what's better, your recipes or their descriptions!
 
Thanks @Rude Rudi
That sounds absolutely fantastic!
 
ICED COFFEE
jpQiHB3.jpg
Iced coffee is my ultimate summer treat. Good ones are scarce. It must be icee, to quote @Rude Rudi.

This one has a bit of a story. Coming back from vacation during December 2017, I had the iced coffee pictured above at Black Steer in Harrismith. Awesome rendition - creamy, real coffee and full of ice slivers. Before our vacation I had my first taste of hashslingingslashur's Leche de Coco (Coconut Milk/Cream) The creamy part of Black Steer's iced coffee immediately reminded me of that juice. Add coffee and ice to the thick coconut milk and - voilà - my perfect iced coffee vape. One of the favourites at our Yzerfontein mini meet - @Hooked and @RenaldoRheeder.

Iced Coffee or Thick Coconut Milk Iced Coffee
FLV Sweet Coconut 1.75 %
TFA Bavarian Cream 1.5 %
TFA Cheesecake (Graham Crust) 1.0 %
MF Coffee 1.0 % [EDIT: VT Arabica Coffee at 4.0 % in place of the MF Coffee works perfectly.]
WS-23 (30%) 1.0 % [If you use Black Ice, which is a 20% dilution, add 1.5 % I think]
FA Coconut 0.75 %
FA Fresh Cream 0.5 %
FA Meringue 0.5 %
EDIT: WS-23 above gives a great cool in the exhale. If you would like some cool on the inhale as well add FA Polar Blast at around 0.5 %, in addition to the WS-23.

Total flavour: 8.0 %

Steep for at least 2 weeks I would say, longer if possible.

The coconut is not overpowering at all for my taste - just right. As one of the reviewers of the coconut milk recipe say - great as a stone for other mixes.

That Iced coffee sounds amazing, But holy crap MF concentrates are helluva expensive...

True, but one bottle (15ml) of MF Coffee will let you make 1.5 liter of the recipe under discussion. If my calculations are correct that equates to about R7 per 30ml bottle.
 
Li Hing Mui Margarita
vy5dzg9.jpg

If Google is to be believed, this is all the rage now. Many a recipe for the real beverage.

I used one of my favourite HIC recipes, slightly adapted, for the Margarita and just added 3% of Li Hing Mui.

Still clearly a Margarita, but the Li Hing Mui adds an awesome extra dimension. It sweetens the Margarita and gives it a sour edge. Of course you get the indescribable aroma and taste of this addition as per @Rude Rudi: "... the love child of plum, pomegranate and cranberry with a full, sweet and sour body. The taste is almost impossible to describe - some pick up Red Bull type flavours, some Gatorade type notes and others have absolutely no way to describe this intriguing flavour.". Addictive for sure.

Li Hing Mui Margarita
DIYFS Li Hing Mui 3.0 %
INW Cactus 1.0 %
INW Lime 1.0 %
FA Brandy 1.0 %
FA Lime Tahiti Distilled 0.5 %
FA Orange 0.5 %
FA Bergamot 0.5 %

Total flavour: 7.5 %

Not much of a steep required. 3 days are good to let it settle.

Tagging @Patrick as promised.

Thanks @Andre that looks really good and I think that you went the correct route. I'm finding it goes particularly well with crisp flavours like apple and I'm sure cactus and lime would work well.
