Well, jus’ 4+ yrs to reply…guess you know by now.
For the folks that come along now :
Like the citric acid in lime juice, bringing tartness to pop fruits,
the ACV is (similar) with a slight acidity, but more ph balanced, if that makes sense.
The two work well together. [and not limited to fruits only]
Not the same but similar to using these two (lime/lemon - acv) in food recipes,
it has a quiet way of blending flavor(s). And … kinda sort of like the de-glazing
of crispy food bits stuck on the pan bottom, using wine, enhancing the flavors,
as opposed to using water to de-glaze [water will free the stuck-on bits, but wine,
or white vinegar, white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, even tamari/soy sauce
enhance the ‘concentrated’ food bits much better].
The term “pop” is used frequently in our e-mixing world, freeing the food bits
is very similar, or vice-versa, as food recipes not only came prior to e-liquid, but
e-liquid flavors were basically born from food flavoring, if you will.
Best tip I have, for/when creating new flavor concoctions, treat it similar to cooking.
Many [experts] say we “eat with our eyes” , partially true, but if it tastes like catturds
that dog ain’t gonna hunt.
Whilst on my engineering journey thru many parts of the world, I found myself with
weeks of time between my services, waiting on contractors to remedy/repair their mistakes,
which was the reason I was called in, or for them to build new/better so the job could continue.
I could go home for a while, or on several occasions (my best memories) were in Greece, Italy,
England, and MIAMI FL [awesome] , where I enrolled in culinary schools. Yes, they firmly teach
the importance of ‘plating’ the food , but back to the [catturds] , the taste buds always win.
Although taste is subjective ( as we have all heard that argument ) , there is also a bonding
continuity underlying. For example, how many folks love mcdonalds fries, or smoked pork butts,
coffee, donuts, cheeseburgers ??? Ya, how about a fresh caught flounder, hand filleted,
stuffed with fresh caught blue crab with the sweet meat picked from the body [not the claws],
add real butter and a little spice, rolled in foil, and baked in your favorite vessel ?
Some day, if you have time (and any interest) , a crazy story of my flounder recipe [Don
Alfonso school Mediterranian sea smoked scamorza cheese Amalfi coast wine involved?]
Pure stevia powder, good lime juice, good apple cider vinegar that contains ‘the Mother’,
stirred with magnetics, can’t go wrong. I even use it in baking pasties.
One last note : shaking your bottles as they cure/meld/blend/age etc.
