I have a recipe I was going to share tonight, actually! It's delicious. Mine uses CAP Wild Cherry (w/stevia), INW Lime, TFA Dragonfruit at a small percentage, and INW Cactus to really up the juiciness of it. I'll shoot you a PM when I upload the recipe later. I can't remember the exact percentages off the top of my head.

Will CAP Wild Cherry turn into cough syrup on you past a certain %?

Just wanted to let you know that I still plan to upload that recipe. We had a pretty nasty storm last night with some heavy winds. The power went out before I got a chance to put up the post. Power was on this morning before work, so I'll upload it when I get home and let you know where to look.

I've never used CAP Lime but generally citruses are super strong, you may wanna cut back on it, and maybe add some TFA Key Lime or something in there, maybe a few drops of a lemon flavor too.

by probywan1337about 9 years agoI will rip you a new one if you don't use the sidebar & search.

Maybe lime Tahiti regular or cold pressed. Cap lemon lime might be good in there too

Neither of those are lemon. FA Lemon Sicily and jungle flavors lemon juicy I think it's called are pretty good lemons

Try adding some Mt Dew flavor or TFA Champagne. Both of those boost your pre-existing flavors.

I would suggest TFA Key Lime 3:1 with FA Lime Tahiti cold pressed for the lime note. I haven't played around much with cherry other than RF Cherry Pie which brings more of a sweet/tart cherry pie filling to the table, but it has a slight graham crust note, plus the throat hit and steep time are a bit much. I do agree with /u/SarahShiloh on the TFA Champagne to give it a boost though. And, come to think of it, I can't say I've heard much mention of a decent straight on cherry flavoring.

EDIT Lime Tahiti Cold Pressed

3% tfa black cherry seems like over kill to me.

Of course I've not had good luck with cherries in general, they are all very strong.

Pick up some CAP Lemon Lime, Lorann's Lemonade or FW Natural Lemonade, and INW Cherries. A simple 3 ingredient Cherry Limeade could come from those easily

Do you have CAP Lemon Lime? I'd imagine that it would fit perfectly in a recipe like this, with maybe a touch of INW Lime, or FA Lime Cold Pressed to kick the lime note up a notch.

It'll turn cough syrupy on you if you aren't careful with it but I think it tastes really good in a couple of mixes at 1.5%.

I've been working on the perfect cherry limeade foreveerrrrrrr and I can't quite nail it. Citrus is very frustrating sometimes, and yet it's my absolute favorite. Lemons and limes translate so well to vapor when done right.
