Mixologists - What would you make with these?

[vapem]

I'm looking for some suggestions from experienced mixers on what I could make with my limited number of flavours. So far i've stuck to mixing single flavours but now i'd like to try something a bit more adventurous.

In the Vapable range i've got:

• caramel
• cherryade
• cherry cola
• double cream

And in the flavour art range i have :

• Espresso Creme
• Forest Fruits
• Vanilla Custard

What do you suggest?

I'd dare say you may need to add a couple more flavours to your repertoire to make something decent.

What brands are the concentrates you already have?

I think Cherry Cola and Cherryade will be like one shot stuff so mix them on their own. You could do Vanilla Custard, little bit of Caramel to add a bit of sweetness and a bit of double cream to tone it all down and smooth it out a bit. You could do forest fruits and double cream and espresso Créme with a little bit of caramel again to sweeten it up a bit.

Percentage wise it's really a case of playing around and seeing what works. With my Capella vanilla custard I generally use about 15-17% then use other flavours in small quantities to get around 20-25% total. It all really depends on your taste and how strong the flavour of the concentrates is.

This is good advice too. I find custards are always better with a bit of dulce de leche or Calipitter chow. And some sweeteners are always essential like ethyl maltol or stevia.

Vapable and Flavour Art. I'm going to order some more so I can make some of the recipes posted on here but i'm impatient and felt the urge to mix some today lol

Thanks. I might have a go at making a sweet espresso creme and caramel. I like strong flavours as long as they are sweet (I have 2.5 sugars in my tea and coffee!)

5% cafe creme 2-3% caramel...leave to steep for 2 weeks u got caramel cappuchino

Just be careful with the different brands. flavour Art normally only recommend about 3% for their concentrates, Whereas some brands need 20%.

 

[lucifairy]

Yeah. .they're strong though I followed that recipe from a different site and 5% seems to be perfect with this one.
