Good Morning Err'one,
Typing this from the East Side (of Pretoria) Yoh, listening to some biggie smalls who strangely enough is also from the East Side. So my initial stash of DIY's is almost finished I have about 95ml left which comprises of the following
1) 20ml Rhodonite
2) 30ml Milk and Honey <-- This is not the Cosmic Fog clone, cause I only recently obtained some peanut butter, made with TFA Honey and Creams etc
3) 30ml Marshmallow cookie <-- This is just another one of my concoctions same as my milk and honey
4) 15ml Coconut Juice
Therefore my search for new juices has began, the idea is that I want to create a peanut butter milkshake topped with Pistachio's type juice, and was wondering if the following will work? The milk was stolen from another favorite DIY i created based on a recipe from this very thread. I'm just wondering if you ladies and gents think this recipe bellow will work:
TFA: Peanut Butter 4%
TFA: Pistachio 1.5%
TFA: Vanilla Swirl 1.5%
TFA: Milk Dairy 4%
TFA: Malted Milk 1%
TFA: Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 1%
FA: Marshmallow 1%
FA: Meringue 0.5%
Koolada - 5 drops for 100ml
Sadly this will be mixed at 28/72 (PG/VG) cause I still add some nic to the mix.
I know the marshmallow and meringue could be overkill for sweetness, but what do you guys think - will this work or what would you change? Any advise would be appreciated.
And if you have a better peanut butter shake please post here or pm me, I'm open to suggestions.
Hey @NewOobY ! It looks very good!
I've never had access to TFA Pistachio, so don't really know how to work with it. But... I'm not sure whether the milk base will be correct for this. Despite earlier successes, I've started to notice that some combination of Milk and Malted Milk tends to mute other flavours after steeping for 3-4 weeks. In addition, I've noticed an almost heated-up cereal type of taste from the Milk Dairy, which is not always the taste I want in a milkshake. Although I still like the flavour for flavoured milk type of vapes, especially since it is quite a light cream in terms of mouthfeel, maybe using heavier creams for a PB shake will be better? I'm thinking in the lines of FA Fresh Cream, FA Vienna Cream, TFA/CAP Sweet Cream, maybe even some TFA Bavarian Cream. Alternatively, you can up the VBIC and drop the Milk Dairy somewhat, if you don't mind the vanilla from the VBIC. The cream part of VBIC is very heavy, and might be good for the taste. That said, it will change the flavour (mostly in terms of the vanilla) quite a bit when used in the range of 3% to 5%.
Lastly, if you want it even heavier, you can add some CAP Vanilla Custard (~2%) in there too - it generally adds a lot of mouthfeel at this percentage without that much flavour.
I'd keep the Malted Milk though - think that will be the bomb with PB.
I'd also add a few drops acetyl Pyrazine to the mix, and 0.5 % Hazelnut if you have it - it does wonders for TFA Peanut Butter. I don't know about the Koolada - I can't stomach the stuff, but if it works it works!
BTW, HIC posted a Chocolate/PB shake a while ago. He almost always uses his own PB mix (FA Cocoa, FA Chocolate, FA Caramel and FA Hazelnut... never tried it, but hey - maybe it works). For the milkshake component he uses Vienna cream. Here is his recipe:
HIC's Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake recipe: smooth, creamy, milk-chocolate pb milkshake - no custard-note ingredients
1.5% Acetyl Pyrazine: https://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/p-6826-acetyl-pyrazine-5-pg.aspx
1% FA Caramel
1% FA Vienna Cream
1% FA Cocoa
1% FA Chocolate
0.5% FA Hazelnut
There is another PB shake recipe on ELR, which uses TFA PB at 6%, and a cream base of Bavarian Cream 2%, Cream Fresh 1.5% and Vienna Cream 1%.
Let us know how it turns out though - I'm quite interested in making something like this!
. It is quite possible that it is already here - but I doubt that someone had the exact same flavor's to make the following, since I think this is one of my true inception recipes i.e. chuck some stuff together and see if it is okay, and fortunately this one was:
