DIY Beverage Recipes

Irish Cream is a surprisingly under-used flavour. ATF lists around 110 recipes total that use Irish Cream, i.e. all the brands of Irish Cream combined. That puts it in the same realm as black licorice. I've been using FA as a cream component in a recipe experiment with baked pears (flowing from Cokecan's Drunken Pears) and it has great potential.
 
I made an irish coffee today using only clyrolinx flavours and the guidelines from @Andre.

Just tried it now as a snv and damn its good. Cannot wait for the steep to finish!

Thx guys! Appreciate the pointers.

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...

Morning Glory
1% (INW) Biscuit
6% (DFS) Cafe Napoleon Flavoring
2% (INW) Custard
2% (DFS) HOLY HOLY GRAIL RY4
2% (DFS) Holy Vanilla

I would love to make this, but the DFS is pretty expensive. Is there maybe a close alternative that I can use. I havent played around with swopping out concentrates so want to ask first.

Unfortunately not...not to achieve the same overall profile. Remember, although the DFS is more expensive, you use less of it so it works out pretty much the same...

You can try these subs, but I can not vouch for the final product as I have not tested it:

Cafe Napoleon - you can try Pur Caramel Coffee with sweet milk at the same %
Holy Grail - you can try TFA RY4 Double at 3%
Holy Vanilla - try INW Shisha Vanilla at the same %

Good luck!

Thank you @Rude Rudi. I will maybe wait and see when I have money to get the real deals. Scared I'm going mess it up since it's so good on the real concentrates.

Dry Lemon
cuyv9Cp.jpg

The base is ID10_T's Real Lemonade to which, over time, I added INW White Grapefruit and a bit of TFA Sour for some zing and a bit of effervescence and WS23 for cool.

For the quinine effect INW Rhubarb with a touch of FA Bitter Wizard works perfectly, giving you that bitter coating in the mouth.

CAP Super Sweet is to tame and contrast the bitter.

I used the original formulation of INW Lemon, and believe the new formulation is not good at all. Valley Vapour has good stock of the original formulation - be sure to ask for it.

Mine steeped for about 3 weeks, but around 3 - 5 days should be good.

Mango and Coconut Bellini

An elegant Bellini infused with fresh mango, pineapple juice and coconut, kissed with a sprig of mint and a squeeze of fresh lime.

The inspiration came from a bottle of non-alcoholic bubbly (why bother?) at my local grocer. The challenge was on to recreate this intriguing combination and this is the result...

TPA Champagne does a good job in providing the base of our Bellini but it lacks the authenticity needed for that that deep, refined, sparkling wine vibe. INW Grape boosts the grapiness of the Champagne and lays the foundation for the drink.

The fruit infusion comes with the compliments of the best mango and pineapple around... FLV Mano is revered for its pure mango goodness and combined with CAP Golden pineapple, provide a fantastical fruit melange.

FA Coco does a superb job in proving that real, creamy coconut milk type flavour without imparting any candy-like notes and sits beautifully I this mix at 1.5%.

The Cap Cool mint provides that delicate ‘real’ mint flavour which, combined with Lime Tahiti CP, provide the finishing touches to our Bellini.

Give this baby 5 days to fully come together before sipping gently on her...

With descriptions like this I do not need to mix it to know what it tastes like. That sounds so good!

Agreed
That looks and sounds delish @Rude Rudi
Thanks!

I just wish I could vape it - like now!
hehe
 
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%

Been vaping your Blue Raspberry Lemonade for the past week @Patrick. It is awesome, even better than Guitari. Looked up Blue Raspberry and found there actually is such a fruit. More black than blue, but the blue stuck for that raspberry flavour is married to a blue dye for most of the products is is used in. Perfect, not overwhelming, blue raspberry flavour on the inhale followed by the lemonade and cool.

Thanks @Andre I'm glad you like it. I also thought is was a simple mix and only later discovered it was a unique thing.
