memzey's mixes

[memzey]

Why do you use two different brands of sweetener @memzey ?

Well, this is where the subjective part of flavours kicks in. I'm pretty sensitive to citrus flavours and find that with CAP SS it brings them out somewhat. Very useful in a lot of fruit based mixes, as it can add vibrancy to a mix even if citrus fruits aren't present, but less so elsewhere. TFA SS doesn't seem to do this as much but is very nearly as sweet as CAP and just as good in most respects. I did a bit of digging and it appears as though they both have amounts of citric acid in them (don't ask me why). I surmised that either the type or quantities used are different between the two and just used them as appropriate.

Just curious, do people of Jewish descent make better mixers?

Poxy autocorrect on phone but now you mention it my grandad had some jewish in there somewhere down the line.
Should have said "i just wish"

It might go some way to explaining my lacklustre efforts so far but I do persevere.

Right. I’m going to try to do 3 mixes. I’ve spent the afternoon (don’t tell my boss) sorting the concentrates.

I’m going for @memzey’s Club Tropicana and also Berry Bonanza. I’m also giving the coconut lime berry recipe below a go. Finally, I’m looking for a decent cherry almond recipe to try so if anyone has a decent one shout it up. I’ll be reporting back in on progress.

I really hope others come in on this thread as it’s been brilliant!

I'm going to get back on the cherry train at some point and tbh it's such an enigma that it might be worth a new thread with a collective of brains.
The Alchemists Cupboard natural range black cherry for me is by far the best I've used and fades the least.
Additions for me would be inawera Almond, Inawera Marzipan, and either Inawera Coconut Cookies or Inawera Green Joy.
Keep meaning to try the flavorah Black Chery as it looks like a winner.

For mixing, where does everyone get their bottles from?

I used to buy plastics but they only seem to last a couple of fills, once you start squeezing the juice out of them, they start crinkling up and shit. So I have attempted to become more environmentally friendly and go for glass. The best ones have a nice thin dripper pipette:

I'm a fan of WF Cinnamon Pastry, INW Biscuit and FA Almond.

I'm not a massive fan of doughnut flavours or creams generally (and I don't have devon)

But for fun I will use this as inspiration for something less doughnutty and share it.

Right now I'm thinking

Almond
Biscuit
Cinnamon pastry
Vanilla Swirl

..the same as you

Then swapping FA Hazelnut for FW Hazelnut because 1: it's my favourite hazelnut and 2: it's more buttery and creamy than FA which might go someway to replacing the Devon Cream, if not I'll add maybe just 0.75% of Cap Whipped Marshmallow which tastes a lot like an artificial cream vanilla dessert filling to me.

....now what to replace the Doughnut elements with?

I'm thinking more buttery, flaky pastry... to make a 'Cinnamon Pastryball' but I don't think I have anything that is just 'flakey buttery pastry' on it's own

any ideas?

Bit late to the party, but I always find cinnamon goes well with Waffle (both FLV and TFA) and (randomly) VT Biscuit Base. Churro could be a winner too, can't remember who makes it, perhaps Capella?

yeah, cherry is a right pain.

I tried for the longest time and kind of gave up, I do get hints of cherry in almond and marzipan (and some vanillas) but what I really want is a bright juicy cherry top note.

Good thinking, my waffle is FW waffle (which I love, I can vape that on it's own) but it does have maple syrup already added. ... that might not be a bad thing though.

I have 6 x 10ml and 11 x 30ml glass dropper bottles if anyone wants to pay for the postage. They're just clutter at the moment.
I mix my own into 150ml or 500ml glass and only use ibottles plastic 30ml pencil type bottles for orders from friends. I buy those 300 at a time.
