Morning Glory: Apple of my eye
A stunning creamy vanilla coffee kissed with a hint of caramel and fresh apple slices.
This is a redux of Morning Glory, which is still one of my favorite recipes to date.
The addition of the apple was an unintended ‘mistake’ when I accidentally added the apple combo to a pre-steeped bottle of Morning Glory instead of Creme Brulee and the result was surprisingly good! I decided to revisit the OG recipe and publish this version with one or two minor tweaks.
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 coffee note is moderately boosted with a touch of VT Arabica coffee, to provide a fuller coffee note, absent in the OG recipe.
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!
FA Fuji is the undisputed king of apples and here, it does all the heavy lifting on the apple front. Sweet, crispy and uber realistic, FA Fuji précis a Fuji apple uncannily. The INW apple brings a sweet apple juice type vibe to the party and boosts the Fuji’s sweetness to create a stunning apple combo.
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...

Rice Milked
A deliciously creamy vanilla rice milk.
I picked up OOO Rice milk on sale recently and, as all sales items usually end up, had zero hopes of it being any good. I went with my gut and mixed some complimentary pairings with it and OMG, did this turn to be a sublime, dare I say, ADV for my fickle palate.
OOO Rice milk is described as sweet and creamy rice milk flavor and that is exactly what it is. An exceedingly creamy base with a fabulous mouth feel laced with a touch of light, cooked rice. The creaminess here is astounding = it is on par with the best creams out there and will be a perfect all rounder where cream is the base layer.
I added a splash of cinnamon sugar and opted for CAP Cinnamon sugar as I wanted a delicate sweet cinnamon note and stayed clear of the other contenders. At 1% It lingers beautifully in the background and just adds a sprinkling of cinnamon. Feel free to up it a tad if you want more of a cinnamon forward note.
FA Bourbon is the perfect vanilla here and adds a wonderful, bold, deep, rich & clean vanilla flavour to round this trio off to perfection.
After 3 days this baby is ready to please and after 5, it will please you even more!

Blushing Lady
A simple and refreshing grapefruit cocktail.
I set out to recreate the classic Blushing Lady cocktail following a recent overindulgence of same...! As per most classic cocktails, the flavor combinations rely on quality ingredients to do the heavy lifting & generously doused with some boozy goodness...
INW Grapefruit is basically grapefruit in a bottle, period. This supreme beast perfectly represent a fresh ruby grapefruit in all its glory= bright, tart & juicy.
FA Pomegranate brings a sweet & syrupy dark pomegranate layer and cuts the tartness of the grapefruit ever so slightly.
FE Lemon ties deepens the tartness and acts as the lemon (not lime) wedge traditionally served with the OG cocktail.
This baby is good to go off the shake and, as always, deepens beautifully after 3 days.

How am I ever ever going to get through my have to mix list if this keeps on happening? And with 3 of my favorite fruits to consume how can I stop myself from not doing it, that’s not going to happen. I however think rule 1 x1 on the FE Lemon might put the brakes on this for right now. Another great one @Rude Rudi , as always greatly appreciated.
Thanx RR , This one is on my ''to try'' list
Quarantini
A gin martini infused with fresh raspberries.
FLV Juniper Gin: The resinous, piney flavour, inherent to the Juniper berry, is wonderfully balanced by citrus peel and a smidgen of spiciness from freshly ground peppercorns. There is a wondrous boozy element to the flavour which rounds the profile off expertly. The 'booziness' is not overwhelming in the least but rather augments the authenticity & overall Gin experience.
The raspberry combo is my go-to combo and just works so well together to provide a sharp, authentic raspberry note to elegantly infuse the gin.
The blood orange is there to provide a gentle spritz of orange, barely noticeable but adding to the overall experience...
Give this baby 2 days and she’s ready...

S&M
A deeply delicious strawberry milk.
I have NEVER released a strawberry milk and thought that I would never see the day... However, the lockdown does strange things to one and this is the result after mixing the missus her usual strawberry cream... This is a self indulgent thick and creamy strawberry milk which was inspired by combining the best bits of my favorite strawberry milks and adding my own spin on 'em.
Strawberry
Each strawberry plays its own role here and, combined, delivers a wonderfully sweet & flavourful strawberry base while delivering a semblance of mouth feel - compliments of WF Strawberry Gummy Candy. I realise that 3 strawberries may seem excessive but this threesome has proven me wrong. Used sparingly, I have coaxed just the correct amount of flavour out of these babies to deliver the ultimate strawberry milk strawberry.
Creamy base
VT Vanilla Cream has been a revelation in the mixing scene and for good reason... This voluptuous, creamy beauty is laced with fresh vanilla and is just sublime in any creamy base. Combined with FA Milk and a touch of meringue, it is catapulted to greatness...
The sugar cookie adds that little bit of familiarity and prevents the recipe of being linear - the slightest bit of cookie flavour just elevates it perfectly.
This baby is ready after 3 days or so.

Blck Vapour has brought out a few recipe bundles which you can find here :
https://blckvapour.co.za/collections/recipe-bundle
Last week I was topping up on concentrates and decided to mix " Caramel Latte" from their bundle. I already had all the concentrates apart from the FA UP Coffee.
I have always struggled to find a good coffee but thought it was about time to try again.
It has only steeped for a few days but I am really liking it. I upped the coffee to 0.5% (pun intended).
The recipe is clearly an adaptation of DiyorDie's Caramel Latte.
