Any close substitutions for Capella - Lemon Drop?

Hey ELR,

I saw a recent recipe from Wayne that I’d like to try, but I am missing Capella - Lemon Drop. Are there any close substitutions for it? I have so many “good” lemons that I don’t really think buying another is necessary.

The recipe calls for 1.5% Cap LD.

I have the following lemon flavors:

[Juicy Lemon (Cap)]
[Lemon (Chemnovatic)]
[Lemon (FE)]
[Lemon (Inawera)]
[Lemon (water soluble) (TPA)]
[Lemon Cake (Inawera)]
[Lemon Cream Wafer (Chemnovatic)]
[Lemon Lime (Cap)]
[Lemon Meringue Pie (Cap)]
[Lemon Meringue Pie (SC) (Nomz)]
[Lemon Meringue Tart (One Shot) (VTA)]
[Lemon Sicily (Limone Sicilia) (FA)]
[Lemon Sour Type (SSA)]
[Lemonade (Flavorah)
[Lemonade (LA)]
[Lemonade (Natural) (FW)]
[Lemonade (VTA)]
[Lemonade Clear (VTA)]
[Lemonade Raw (VSO)]
[Natural Lemon (SSA)]
[Pink Lemonade (Cap)]
[Summertime Lemonade (WF)]

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if none of my flavors would be a good substitution, I’ll buy lemon drop. But it would be nice to get an idea of the recipe’s flavor before I do.

Lemon FE should work @IggyZ.

I just came here to say FE lemon but @SessionDrummer beat me to it.

Hey @SessionDrummer, am I using FE at the same 1.5% as in the recipe for the Capella LD?

Funny you and @Lynda_Marie both said FE. Before your comments, I already mixed up a batch with FE at 1.0%, but it was lacking in the lemon department. It may very well be that this extra 0.5% will fix that.

Thank you guys for your replies! I really appreciate it.

@IggyZ, I don’t know all of the flavors in your mix, and I did test the CAP @4%, and the FE @ 3%. At 1.0%, it could be getting buried in the mix.
