March 2026 Mix‑Along: Blueberry Edition!

I’ve never tried Tart Blast (FLV) but I do know it contains ethyl alcohol, levulinic acid, and lactaid acid. Lactic acid can have a yogurt taste or sour milk taste on its own.
I personally would stick to citric acid which mostly comes from citrus fruits, or malic acid which comes from fruits like apples and grapes. I use Sour (TPA) for its malic acid most often.

But to tarten up a fruit recipe I typically use lime, lemon is too acidic for my tastes. I also learned a trick, that is to use cranberry flavoring to tarten up certain fruits, like cherry and blueberry. It has a tart tannic astringency and has minimal acidity.

do not enter me in the contest please, I haven’t even used the BCF gift cards from the months I won due to tariffs. I would donate to a struggling mixer in the US if I am able somehow? Not sure if they just need the number or if its linked to my BCF account. I’ve been so busy, anyways just a simple blueberry whipped cream I’ve been enjoying. Been awhile, hope you guys are all doing well in this crazy world :metal:

There was a blueberry and cream by a company called Toxic Angel that I absolutely loved. Bar the cooling agent, this might do the trick. Thx for the share :wink:

Do you think I can use Cactus Juice (SSA) instead of Dragon fruit? I know it will be different but I don’t have dragon fruit.

its okay Muth, nothing spectacular. Yeah I think I will remove the coolant, I just added the dragonfruit to juice it up a little. I’m sure you can mix without, never tried that SSA Cactus. My blueberry dreams and blue dragon recipe are much better then this one I think.

I mixed up a couple of BB recipes, after a 2 week steep I’m happy with this one. It’s not to heavy / overpowering on the graham, just the way I like it…

I might not have a BB mix to offer this month but this mix-along inspired me to plant blueberry bushes this year.

No, sir! This was my official test on that theory, and the Silver BBMF could barely peak its head out from under the Croissant and Bread. OG at 1% came out from under after 10ish days. Like John McEnroe doing a Sean Connery impression, evidently!

Next step is to test them 1:1
