Thank you, Rocky! :slightly_smiling_face:

I am pretty fussy about whether I think any of my recipes are “ready” for public release but hopefully I’ll be happy enough with some version of it to go public.

I have a thousand recipes on that side (many are revisions, unmixed as of yet, or just plain blaaahh!) but have only made one public so far - and that was just mainly so I could be found.

Anyone have some tips as to how to get the pink to push through the lemonade?

I’ve mixed all the pink lemonades on ELR and ATF way back when, and none of them except for @fidalgo_vapes’s Fiddys Pink Lemonade did it for me. His was, and in my opinion, still is perfect. It was the only one which didn’t drastically change from the shake to after a week or so steep.

Another one worth noting, IMO, is the Wild Watermelon Lemonade from Developed. This one, on the other hand is fantastic off the shake, but after a week or so, the lemon completely overpowers the melon. I tried remixing this, and lowering the lemonade and lemon, and boosting the melons, but it didn’t really work. I ended up with a decent watermelon mix, but then the lemons have mostly vanished.

So, how do i make the lemonade sit behind the “pink”? Do I bump the pink, or lower the lemonade?

I used:

3% FJ Ultimate WM
3% CAP Ripe Strawberries
3% WF Natural Lemonade
0.7% CAP Super Sweet

I thought that 6% pink to 3% lemonade would settle that issue, but it didn’t. The lemonade is still pushing through more than the fruits. It’s been 2 days now, and the flavor didn’t change much more beyond melding together. But more than anything, I taste a natural lemonade. The SB and WM aren’t really noticeable. I’ve tried raising the SB to 5%, and it became more noticeable, but started to bring a candied SB to the mix at that percentage, and I didn’t want that. And by raising the WM to 4%, it started adding some green to the mix (honeydew+melon rind), so IMO that should be kept at 3% to keep only that fresh WM taste.

If anyone has any tips on how to work out this balance, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks,
Iggy

P.S. (almost completely unrelated) Are there any flavors which do the opposite of the emulsification that TPA - Dragonfruit is known for? For example, by adding a drop or two to my mix, all the flavors would become separated, opposed to mixed together? Am I wandering around in dream land, or does such a magical additive actually exist? :rofl:

Try adding a raspberry low to help move both the wm & sb more forward in the mix.

i think it may be because cap ripe sb is kind of a basey sb, it will be difficult for it to push through(& sit above) a brighter lemon without just completely overpowering it? i havent tried wf lemonade so i dont know where in the vape it sits or if its brighter or what?
i would probably say try lowering the ripe & adding in a higher % of cap sweet sb? using the ripe just to boost the sweet, cap sweet sb being on the brighter side may help the sb shine through the brighter lemon notes?
you could also try a raspberry or something like guava if you wanted to go another route?

i had the same problem with my Whipped Pink Lemonade …The guava was too forward though and it took over the lemonade aspect. I had to drop one of the guavas add SB and and another lemon . From my experience with lemonades ots a fine line because the problems with citrus flavors fading , being harsh or strong.

As simple as Fiddys Pink Lemonade is it took a few revisions …It wasnt until i added the lime to the mix that i felt i was close.

Oh and ty so much for the kind words, much appreciated

Ssa multivitamin is a great additive for lemonade! This is my go to lemonade…

It just gives a tart fruity twist (literally lol)

I am surprised the Lemon is overpowering the 2 fruits. Sb always need a couple to few days to really show up and the lemon may fade .

how many days had it steeped

3 Likes

First batch steeped 3 days by now. The lemon is still front and center. I’m getting close to what I wanted from later revisions. It’s just fine tuning now.

WF Natural Lemonade is great, but fairly strong. I have a feeling it’ll replace FW Natural Lemonade for me. It just tastes better to me, and needs a shorter steep time.

Finally found some time and played along.This is a one and done recipe for a pretty straightforward grapefruit lemonade (for me Pink Lemonade=Grapefruit Lemonade) Whoever likes it a little on the sour side maybe give this one a try

Once I saw @Bob_ohms2low post his GF Jan Mix, I realized, I’d not only never flushed mine out, but forgot to post it. Too busy to be sane ATM.
