Welp, I saw there wasn't a clone recipe for this tasty juice.
I figured "how hard can it be?", well, not very. It's a first attempt, it needs refinement and I should probably try again before posting a recipe...but maybe someone wants to play with it.
Tastes %95 spot-on to my unrefined palette after a shake 'n vape...a little too mellow after 2 days steep time. Seems like PLENTY Koolada though...so something's possibly missing still. 3 days in, still VERY tasty.
Tested on a Half-closed Dark Horse @ 75w W/ Twisted 24ga
Miracle On Ice
- %4 Strawberry Ripe (TFA)
- %2 Strawberry Sweet (CAP)
- % 6-6.5 Blueberry Wild (TFA)
- %1 Coconut XTra (TFA)
- %1 Koolada (TFA)
Feedback welcome! It's close, but not %100.
Looks good! I'll have to give it a try later. also, is your name from the Norma Jean song?
Yep haha. Made it years ago on XBL and just got used to it. \m/\m/
\m/ I loved them as a teenager. I still go to a lot of post-hardcore & metal shows, though my tastes swung towards european progressive & power metal in my 20s.
Might give this recipe a shot without (or much less) coconut...can't stand the stuff but the recipe looks good!
Have you tried coconut, the non extra variety? When I first got into diy I bought that thinking I could just double it for recipes that call for extra, but in my experience it's either less than half strength or a different flavor. It's much more mild and less overpowering.
No, I haven't. I actually didn't know they did a non-extra coconut. I might give it a shot in the future, I don't mind a really light coconut flavour so it might do the trick. Cheers.
Maybe try %.5 of the coconut then. It really does need to be in there...how much you actually want it to come through is up to you. I don't really even taste it @ %1...nor do I really like Coconut vapes.
It kind of sits right behind the koolada and never comes through much...though I haven't made enough to steep it...went through about 30ml in 2ish days.
Did you post this in the clones thread? I haven't had that one from Adirondack, but the recipe you posted looks good to me regardless.
Hey man. I just wanted to check back in. My wife and I were really big fans of a super small taste tester of this authentic juice.
I excited made up a 10ml bottle of your recipe and it's pretty close to what I remember. Great job! I'm heading to 120ml of it next and will let it steep longer =]
Thanks again
That's great man!
I've yet to go back to it and attempt to refine it, but I did leave 20 mL out of 100 mL sit and steep for a week...
My post-steep experience was that the coconut came through more and slightly muted the Koolada. The solution I figure I'll try next time is offsetting the Coco with a little more Strawberry ripe. Maybe drop the Coco to %0.9-0.8.
Or do the lazy thing I did with the 20 mL and just add another fresh % 0.2-0.3 Koolada into a week later, haha.
Either way, I've come to accept that a "clone" that is 90% or closer to the real thing is fine by me...heck, sometimes I end up liking the clone more.
I made a few tweaks to suit my tastes and my wife LOVES it.
5% TFA Strawberry Ripe, 1.5% Cap Strawberry , 6% Blueberry Wild, . 9% TFA coconut extra, 1% Koolada, and a few drops of strong diy menthol for a little more mint.
I find CAP strawberry to be overpowering so reduced it slightly. Added menthol makes it very refreshing. Give it a go!
I know this is an older thread, but have you tried Blueberry Extra + Pomegranite? (Both TFA). That mixture alone is giving me a huge Miracle on Ice vibe. Try giving the Andromeda Clone a try and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I think it was
Vanillin 6%
Blueberry Extra 10%
Pomegranite 5%
All TFA
