**Flavor of the Week: Alcohol**
submitted almost 10 years ago by Helfrd0771Mixologist

Flavor of the Week: ALCOHOL

Alcohol is really a range of flavor: Whiskey, Champagne, Bourbon, etc. I like encourage posting about any alcohol flavors.

The purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a flavor and it's many uses.

We're not just looking for you to post recipes you have containing the flavor of the week, but looking for you to share your process as you develop a new juice using the flavor of the week.

This should help us all to better understand how certain flavors interact, and give us all a launching point to perhaps discovering new wonderful recipes.

Please post new recipes created using this flavor as well as any and all tasting notes as main posts. Thought process is encouraged also. This thread will NOT be in contest mode so the best flavors and reviews of those should move their way towards the top.

While I definitely encourage you to branch out with this flavor and use some more rare flavors, I would encourage everyone to keep it in mind that others will not be able to try your recipe and comment or offer assistance if they do not have the flavors you are using. I would also encourage you to use this week's flavor as the "main" flavor in your recipe although this is not required.

You BETTER sample and offer tasting notes on your recipe.

This Week's Flavor is: ALCOHOL

VAPE SAFE

" The majority of the world's vanilla is the V. planifolia species, more commonly known as Bourbon vanilla (after the former name of Réunion, Île Bourbon) or Madagascar vanilla,"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please, no Bourbon Vanilla, there is no alcohol flavoring in it. Thank You

Thou shall not disrespect the scotch. Some cheap vodka will fulfill your butt chugging needs, scotch is for sipping.

Even the best scotch opens up with a little water. I find one cube is the perfect amount.

I just bought and shared a bottle of Frank Sinatra Select JD with my dad for his birthday. A splash of distilled water opened that shit up so nice. He said it was like drinking a 34 year old unopened bottle of JD that his father gave him earlier this year. I known it's not scotch, but water helps any whiskey open up.

Totally agree, a like a little water in my whisky, but I find ice dilutes it too much and changes the consistency.

While tfa Kentucky bourbon is nice, I found to get a really strong real bourbon flavor mix equal parts tfa Kentucky bourbon and LA bourbon. I make a really nice bourbon ginger lime juice with it.

I present you Beard Oil

  • Tfa kentucky bourbon 4%
  • LA bourbon 4%
  • Tfa ginger ale 3%
  • FA lime tahity cold press 1.5%
  • Tfa champagne type 1.5%

The champagne adds a hint of effervescence on the exhale which really enhances the bourbon ginger mix.

Do you ever have a problem with the LA Bourbon separating?

With in the mix itself? No.

I've only made small quantities and the lime does separate a bit if it sits too long.

I recently purchased a bottle of Atmos Lab "18 year old Whiskey". Mixed it at 6% and dripped a bit of it. It really tastes like whisky does it's incredible. The whole appartment smelled like whiskey for one hour after mixing + dripping.

Haven't touched it since. I have no idea where to start.

Mix it with something lemony for a whiskey sour?

While not an alcohol flavor itself, FA Oak Wood is a necessity if you're into alcohol flavors. It really helps add the barrel-aged taste and a little goes a long way with it.

Lurker here, just curious: Do you all really not have any alcohol recipes or are your recipes so good you don't want to share them?

This is a serious question.

I was so excited to see this thread yesterday, because this is the profile I'm most interested in, and so far I've only seen a couple helpful responses.

It's hard to ask this without coming out bitchy and I apologize for my tone. I was just really hoping for more education from this thread.

I mostly use them as additives. However I do have one recipe:
