Flavor of the Week: Lemonade
submitted over 9 years ago by Helfrd0771Valued Community Coordinator

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.

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. Good luck to everyone!

This Week's Flavor is: Lemonade

How ever you make it (with or without "lemonade flavors"), please share.

I like /u/vurve's Best Damn Pink Lemonade

Ingredient|% :---|---: Lemonade (LA)| 6.0 Raspberry (sweet) (TPA)| 2.0 Strawberry (ripe) (TPA)| 1.0 Lemon Sicily (FA)| 0.75

I swap the Lemond Sicily for INW Lemon Mix @ .5%. It's pretty damn good, perhaps even the best.

Mmm, this recipe looks familiar.

Good idea on subbing for INW Lemon Mix. I'll have to try that out.

This recipe is so hit and miss with me, sometimes its harsh sometimes it not. Would EM help mellow it out? I know it already loses its flavour the longer it sits but it'd be gone in 1 week tops.

Sorry if I'm asking the obvious, but are you thoroughly shaking your flavors before you dispense them every single time

by Enyawreklawover 9 years agoCreator - Best Recipe of 2015: Rhodonite

Easy RazLemonade

BRAND| FLAVORING | % ---|---|---- LA | Lemonade | 5% LA | Raspberry | 4% | Ethyl Maltol | 1%

Mix at any base ratio. Steep for a couple days. Good to go. Feel free to experiment. Adding INW Raspberry (Malina) or substituting for LA Raspberry creates a more "candy" like lemonade which is great as well. Adding in a few other citrus' like Lime Tahiti, or adding other fruits like Fuji apple, create a more complex and interesting main profile. Great with Margaritas.

I think LA Lemonade is too sweet to be called an accurate lemonade flavor, unless you put a christload of sugar in your lemonade. Not a bad flavor, just more of a lemon candy flavor than a nice refreshing lemonade made from actual lemons flavor.

But the combination of these two flavors with a great margarita beside it sounds heavenly.

How well would TFA Rasberry (sweet) substitute? i have no experience with LA's Raspberry so i dont know how it will compare. thanks for posting this recipe il try adding some Fuju apple and i think will be great!

Too florally above 4-5% needs a stronger raspberry like inw at half the ratio to make an amazing raspberry

I like mixing INW raspberry Malina and INW raspberry wera garden at ~0.5% each

3% INW Lemon Concentrate, 1% INW Lemon Mix for lemonade that tastes like real lemonade made from lemon juice, not lemon koolaid like the other lemons. Thanks again Botboy for that one. These two at these %'s will completely overpower many other ingredients, so for things like strawberry/mango/blueberry/blackberry/whatever fruit you want lemonade, Arnold Palmer, Dirty Palmer (lemonade + tea + bourbon), making a lemon base that's 75% INW Lemon Concentrate and 25% Lemon Mix makes it easier to use this same tasty combo at less than 4% total INW lemons.

Also try it with VBIC or your favorite ice cream flavor or mix of flavors for a "frosted lemonade" like the ones at Chic-Fil-A.

How are Lemon Concentrate and Lemon Mix different, in your opinion?

by ID10-Tover 9 years ago

Lemon Concentrate much sweeter. Lemon Mix is biting into a slice of lemon.

Mmmmmm. Frosted lemonade

Yes, and INW lemons can stand up to ice cream, while FA lemon Sicily will disappear and CAP juicy lemon, when used in a high enough % to not disappear, tastes pledge-y.

Stopping in to say thanks to you, /u/ID10-T for this simple and perfect recipe! It's strong and bold but not at all harsh, it's mouth-wateringly tart, authentic as a sip of fresh lemonade, and it has lasted through a month's steep without losing any of it's power whatsoever.

I mixed this on 6/19, it got lost in the shuffle, and I just dug it out of my curing cabinet today. This is the realest lemonade recipe I've ever vaped. It's not Country Time Mix or Kool-Aid lemonade, but real fresh-squeezed lemonade, light on the sugar, just like I like it, but have never been able to capture in a vape. Absurdly delicious!

I think I'm going to have to add both INW lemons to a future order so I can make a flavor base and start working other fruits in to mixes, but, for now, I'm just so happy to finally have a simple and pitch-perfect, unadulterated lemonade to vape.

Flawless 2-ingredient recipe (well, 3 for mine, as I added 1% Koolada). You're my hero!

Awww shucks. You're My hero for being the kind of person goes back and finds a six-week-old thread to give heap praise on a two-ingredient recipe. Beats the living hell outta those candy-ass lemonades, though, doesn't it? Can't really take credit for it; it was /u/Botboy141's suggestion over a year ago and you should thank him. I might have been the only one who listened at the time though. If you want to try something fun with this same real-lemon lemonade INW Combo: https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/7021#frosted_lemonade_by_id10_t

Heh! Already added your Frosted Lemonade to my next batch to mix!

And, yes, thank you to you and /u/botboy141 for that 2-ingredient lemonade. So damn good.

I have been working on a good hard lemonade for a while now and have been pretty happy with this so far. FW lemonade provides a good sweet base but I like a Little lemon rind to really give it a true homemade taste and that's where the lemon mix comes in. The bourbon is pretty self explanatory and adds a bit of sweetness I love this flavor and it has so many uses. The champagne is a new addition that seems to add a little something. A little sweet and fruity but a bit of dryness as well that I really like. I'm still playing with variations but I've been vaping this all day and it's hitting the spot for me at least

I make a good blue razz lemonade using FW Lemonade (Natural). I add a little blueberry as well as blue razz flavor and sweetener. The main thing about lemon is that sometimes it gets bitter on steeping. The Blueberry and sweetener mitigate that almost totally.

I understand too thay Lorann Lemon oil is cold pressed and therefore lipid free but I am not sure if that's true or not.

Raspberry lemonade

  • FA Lemon sicily 3%
  • Cap Raspberry 3%

currently mix this at 50/50 the raspberry lends enough sweetness to balance the lemon for my taste. more like a lemonade that has pureed raspberries mixed in.

strawberry lemonade

  • Fa lemon sicily 3%
  • tfa ripe strawberry 5%
  • cap sweet strwberry 3%
  • tfa dragonfruit 1%

again mixed at 50/50

both of these mixes can be shake and vaped and don't find need for additional sweeteners. they are simple but a good change of pace from the creams and bakery flavors i normally mix.

Anything I mix with Cap Pink Lemonade comes out amazing. They did a great job with that flavor if you haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

This might sound weird, but I've been working on a Pink Lemonade and Lavender Sorbet flavor.

I don't know why but it's so refreshing.

Highly recommend FW Pink Lemonade. Has a great flavor and an even better color!

Strawberry Lemalade

2 Sweet Strawberry CAP 1 Lemon Sicily CAP 1 Juicy Lemon CAP

For 100% VG, use equal parts of all 3. The lemon really shines at 50PGVG, but nobody seems to like PG these days so for my VG clients I use the amended recipe because the VG has no problem with strawberry but mutes the hell out of the tangy lemon qualities.

  • Fruit of Choice
  • 3.5% LA Lemonade
  • 1.5% FA Lemon Sicily

LA Lemonade by itself, esp. Over 4.5% tastes pretty "chemically" and even imparts a slight burnt taste imo, and the FA Lemon Sicily helps balance out this out since a little bit lighter and more "floral" or "natural" tasting. I want to try adding some CAP Juicy Lemon at some point though.

I'm not sure how to format my next right, but I really like this recipe.

6% Pink Lemonade (DD or Dark Delights)

3% Raspberry (Sweet) (TPA)

2% Koolada

Great summer vape

I've been making this in subtle variations for a long time. Sometimes I split the LA Lemonade with FW Lemonade for a bit more tart lemonade (Though FW needs a bit more steeping, where LA is better fresh)

Melonade 

Ingredient|% :---|---: Lemonade (LA)|6 Sweet Guava (CAP)|2 Watermelon Candy (TPA)|6

Flavor total: 14%

I've heard liquid barn is by far the best lemonade
