Mixed up some Groolberry yesterday, gave it a taste tonight and I must say, first impressions are super nom.
Coconut Milk Iced Coffee - my own concoction
Lemon Snapple - Lemon Iced Tea to try.
Glass Apple - to try.
Cinnamon Rhubarb Muffin - I love INW Rhubarb, a must try for me.
The Fruit Dragon - to try out and use some of my INW Grapes.
Strawnana Custard - love long steepers.
Sprite - smells just like the real thing.
Vampire Blood - a great strawberry sour belt. I add some Sour too. Stock.
Hawaiian POG Remix - giving it a go.
Tammy Temptation 01- I liked the original. Combination of menthol, peppermint, candy cane, cool and cinnamon red hot. This version - making it hotter and colder.

@Rude Rudi late to the party, but the Mango Sticky Rice is a revelation. I subbed the TFA Coconut Candy for OOO Coconut Milk and it punches the overall milky texture into stoned deliciousness. Lovely find.
I have yet to taste my Mango Sticky Rice - shall have to now. Did you sub at the same percentage?
Oooh that Tammy' s Temptation sounds very good indeed
Upped it to 1%.
I upped the Cinnamon Red Hot from 1 to 2.5%! Added 0.5% FA Coconut for a bit of body, 1.0% WS-23 (30%) for more intense cool and 0.25 % TFA Sour to break the sweet a bit. Just tasted it. Glorious! Not for the tame. Oh, the WS-23 in place of the FA Polar Blast.
This sounds amazing. I would like to try both the standard and your variant.
WS-23 I don't have though. I see the crystals are available from Blck. How does that work?

Please help with the Sprite recipe - I’m having ‘difficulty’ finding it on the page you referenced?

It’s good but not for everyone...this is like whiskey/gin...an acquired taste. The mango here sets it apart from the other versions - this one is a winner.

Blck has WS-23 at 20% - he calls it Black Ice, I think. Just use it at 1.5% to be the same as 1.0% of WS-23 (30%). Valley Vapour has WS-23 at 30%. No idea how the crystals work.
From that link: "FW Pink Champagne @ .75% + CAP Lemon Lime @ 3-4% is 100% win. It's literally 7up/Sprite. And you can throw in some FA Florida Key Lime, TFA Key Lime, or FA Lemon Sicily to make it a little more tart.".
I went for 4.0 % CAP Lemon Lime, 0.75 % FW Pink Champagne and added 0.5 % FA Aurora for a bit of an edge. Have not tasted it yet.
I have acquired that taste!
Have you tasted Cin Red Hot by itself? I would love a traditional Fireball.
No, I have not.
I read on the flavour notes for fa cinnamon Ceylon that you can get that fireball from it at higher %
I've also read that a 50/50 mix of TFA and CAP Cin Red Hot makes a US candy - Fireblaster (or something like that).
But I'm not sure that is the same thing as the Fireballs we used to get. I assume it is.
Also, I haven't seen CAP Cin Hot here.

Exploring some new ingredients and long lost classics
Utopia - A juicy refreshing tangerine/white peach fruit mix
Strawberry Cereal Milk - the best us of New New FA Cereals by far
Tootall's Apple Cinnamon Danish - nice use of Connamon Churro by the master...
Cinnamon Banana Nut RY4 - Banana Bread Dipped in Caramel Dusted With Cinnamon with an Accent of Tobacco at the End by Wayne.

Frosted Coffee Cake - my own recipe - still a work in progress, will publish soon...

That Utopia is really interesting. It goes to show the latitude that there is in percentages. The recipe uses FA Raspberry at 5%. ConcreteRiver notes:
And HIC notes:
Yet SixStrings uses it at 5%. She is an excellent and experienced mixer who is part of the same collective as Concrete, Jenn, Kopel, Ckemist, ID10-T et al. So it's not a mistake, she knew exactly what she was doing. From her notes on the recipe:
This is a missing link in mixing for me. Why would new mixers like myself tend to go with Concrete's and HIC's advice to keep a flavour low at around 2%, yet it "makes sense" for SixStrings to bump it to 5% off the bat? Was she force-muting again, as she is known to do?
Even the FA Peach White seems high at 3.5%. For reference, both Raspberry and Peach White are used under 2% on average on ATF. She has more than doubled the ATF average percentage of both. It's being done for a reason, it would be interesting to know her thinking behind it. She gives a hint:
OK, so why does doubling the percentage of Raspberry from the point where it starts becoming bitter and perfumey give a mouth-watering character to the Mandarin on the inhale? There is dark magic in play here.

I've made this one as well... It is amazing!!
