I will give you a second to wonder what the hell I must have been thinking to put this together.....
Now that you're properly lost as to what is my thought process was, I can tell you this came about entirely by happy accident. One cold night, after RF did their get 3 free samples deal, I was substituting their flavors in to recipes I had already loved. Before I had noticed what happened, I had mixed a tiny bit of a Honeysuckle Cucumber juice left in my tank, with a nutty cream. It came out ridiculously good.
So over the past few months I have worked it into a milky, refreshing, full bodied nut tea vape. I imagine a wild pistachio, wielding a Honeysuckle flower intent on ruling the world.
The pairings:
RF SC Cucumber + TFA Honeysuckle
The backbone of sorts. Gives it a touch of salt to enhance the nuts, a nice floral note for the tea, juiciness for days, and a nice little bite. I tried it with CAP cucumber, and it just isn't as good, that salty note is much needed. These will be the very first flavors you taste.
RF SC Pistachio + FW Hazelnut
All hail FW Hazelnut. It is truly a great concentrate above most others. It goes with every nut pretty much, and this Pistachio is no exception. Together this is the nutty core of this recipe. It's savory, full bodied as heck, with a nice touch of sweet from the creams, but not enough to takeover to nutty/drink texture of the vape. There are no replacements for these nuts.
TFA Bavarian Cream + FA Cream Fresh
The blending, and sweetening agents of this recipe. Gives it a milky finish and stops the Honeysuckle from overpowering your Cucumber, and nuts. A wonderful milky, semisweet combo. I love FA Fresh Cream so much, I have heard FLV Cream is an upgrade if anyone wants to go for it and report in.
INW Cactus + FW Salted Caramel Cactus is just unstoppable. More juiciness and body. No drink vape should be without. The Salted Caramel is for sweetness and blending abilities. You don't exactly taste it. But you notice when it's gone.
Notes: The throat hit is real in this recipe! This is a full sucker punch to the taste buds and throat. This is the first recipe I've used a lot of concentrates for, and I'm sure someone might be able to make this better. It was a happy accident I worked into this, maybe someone can unlock the full potential of honeysuckling nuts, but for now I bring you the first piece of that puzzle.
No tricks, just bamboozle!
I am quite a fan of Pistachio, but I don't have this one. Adding it to my list and I'll give this recipe a whirl. It sounds really strange TBH but I gotta see for myself ;)
