Rose Milk (Jungle Flavors) 15% (11-29-24) – I think this is the first ever one of Wayne’s (DIY or DIE), One Shots that I’ve purchased, so breaking NEW ground here. From the MFG …

Rose Milk DIY or DIE One Shot Concentrates is the most popular in the line. Providing the taste of fresh strawberries, cream, vanilla bean ice cream, and a subtle cookie aftertaste. So many people have enjoyed this delicious recipe!

Alright, another Strawberry Cream, or something more ?? Let’s get into it !!! The initial onrush was indeed Strawberries, but they interestingly enough, leaned heavily towards a sweetened, jammed profile. Jammy, sweet, and with a hint of tart. Beneath that layer, things started to get interesting with a very smooth, and creamy vanilla cream, maybe ice cream, but there was something else hidden in there. Pretty sure I was getting a light cheesecake buried in the vanilla cream. I didn’t get any true “cookie” profiles in there, but overall, the mix was surprisingly tasty, and NOT what you would expect from a SB and Cream.

At 15% it was nice and full, and I’d rate it at a high 9.5/10 on the strength scale. Tester after tester went by, and I couldn’t find any off-notes or complaints. Sweetness was higher, and at about 2 or 3 ticks above mid-level, so it was a sweeter juice, but it didn’t seem to slow me down surprisingly, as I don’t typically favor sweeter juices. I def. know ONE of the SB’s in there, and I can’t stress enough, how good the “jammy-ness” of the overall Strawberry profile was, AND, that it was still bright, punchy, and, (yes), jammy, even riding on top of the vanilla cream / ice cream / cheesecake layer. I love jammy SB’s, so keep that in mind regarding my rating. All in, an interesting, and unique take on the overly crowded playing field of Strawberries and Cream. To answer my earlier question, “Just another SB Cream, or Something more” ?? I would say more. Despite being pretty sweet, I can’t mark it down much for that, as it seemed to boost/enhance the SB Jam profile, and in a good way. Sweet but tasty. Leaving this one fairly high at a 9.2/10. Oh, and apparently, NO Roses were harmed in the production of this One Shot !!!

Ya this is what ruined the recipe for me…I get it though Wayne made this for the masses and even in DIY these days you see SS used at the 1pct mark often. It is a good liquid though if the sweetness was cut in half

Strawberry Waffle (Jungle Flavors) 10% (12-1-24) – With this, the last One Shot in this series, we can finish it up. This one I kind of picked on a lark, as it wasn’t really in my typical flavor realm, as I much prefer a traditional Waffles, Butter, and Syrup, so I was interested to see what would happen. Getting right into it, there was NO mistaking this was a waffle flavor, and, one with some great buttery notes. There were some light grainy notes baked in, which did help to keep it pretty authentic. On top, were some delicious Strawberries, that leaned heavily towards syruped, as opposed to fresh cut or natural. The two profiles were actually paired very smartly with the ratio being roughly 60% Waffle, and 40% Strawberry. Strength wise, it was as full as you could want at 10%, and pretty much a 10/10 on the strength scale. Sweetness was somewhat high, and I’d tag it at about 2-3 ticks above mid-level, so it was a sweet one. To expand on that, you did get sweetness from the initial onrush, middle, and finish on this one, so if you were sweet sensitive, it might be at your upper limit. Not cloying, but again, a sweet one.

No off-notes to be had, and as is sometimes the case, I had blown through 3 testers before I’d realized I hadn’t written a word LOL. Many times when testing waffles, pancakes, they’re just kinda close, but not all the way there, like “Kinda Waffles”, or “Kinda Pancakes”, but the waffles here, were just plain waffle-ly. The buttery undertones washed nicely into the syrupy strawberries, and melded together nicely. About the only thing I didn’t want to leave out, was a very nice jammy-ness to the strawberries, so that would leave them syrupy, and with jammy accents. All in, for a flavor I wasn’t sure I was going to like, I did. My go to will still be butter and syrup, but this one took me by surprise. Leaving it high, with no complaints other than the fairly high sweetness levels, at a 9.0/10.
