So if you've been following along, we're up to #9. And the worst part is, it's now stable!
Different steeping/curing method, and the Jalapeno doesn't cause the other flavorants to break down. So, success, almost.
NOW the problem is the taste. Almost identical to a real Bloody Mary...that's had a couple of heaping tablespoons of sugar poured into it.
What can I safely add to drop the sweetness and raise the acidity a bit?
We're so close I can taste it!
Bitter Wizard from FA
Start @ 2 drops per 30ml and increase from there by a drop at a time (steep required after adding).
But wouldn't that just make it bitter and not acidic?
It'll eliminate the sweetness and is the only viable option to do so that I've come across.
If you want it to be more acidic as well you could try some Tartaric Acid as well or instead.
I just read about using a small shot of lemon juice for an interesting kick. That might not be great for bloody Mary though.
You could try to find citric acid in powder form. You could probably get it online, possibly a specialty baking store. It's used to make Sour candies. That might be another route to try.
Good luck!
Ok, batch 9.5 (took batch 9 and added lemon juice). Better, but we lose the tomato flavor.
Dare I say... Shot of vinegar? That's probably a bad idea, but if you're feeling experimental...
You could try .2-.3% of FA guava. It has an intense taste, it isn't negate sweetness, but it is some sourness. Sorry I am not experienced with savory flavours.
This might sound odd, but to remove any sweetness from a recipe I've been using HICs suggestion of a small amount of bread crust. You can read about it here https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/threads/pure-vapes-has-3ml-flavourart-flavorings.518022/page-61
I'm super excited about this recipe dude.
So am I, which makes it all the more frustrating. If test #10 fails, I'm just gonna sit down and cry.
you know the story behind that one product that I can't recall that has that one set of numbers in the name. Don't you?
Well those numbers is how many attempts it took to make it....Yeah this was the best motivational speech ever right?
why can't I remember the drink or sauce I'm thinking of :'( this is horid
Lol trust me man im in the same position with my Funfetti recipe. It's in its 8th batch. I keep getting further from the mark. It makes me just want to chug a 4oz of straight NIC and jump in a lake.
