Is there a substitute for Cap Juicy Lemon?

submitted about 8 years ago by nowoonocy

I am trying to order from Capella's International website and can't find the flavor listed over there. I know others in the US are selling it but they don't ship international.

Any substitute for that ? I am trying to make this recipe

I made that recipe with the original ingredients, and the second time around made it with INW Lemon (old version) @1% instead of the CAP Juicy Lemon. It was MUCH better with the INW.

Lemons can tricky bitches to work with. Even flavors that taste similar by themselves might act very differently when used in a recipe. So, I'm not saying this will actually work as a sub. The only way to know that would be to try it.

But out of all of the lemon flavors I've tried (FA Lemon Sicily, CAP Italian Lemon Sicily, JF Juicy Lemon, FLV Lemon, INW Lemon, INW Lemon Mix, CAP Lemon Lime, FLV Lemonade, FW Lemonade, FE Lemon, LB Pink Lemonade, various lemon bakeries) the closest to CAP Juicy Lemon was JF Juicy Lemon, followed I think by INW Lemon. You never know, one of those might actually be an improvement on the original recipe. Good luck!

What country are you in? Someone might be able to help you find a vendor. I know I had trouble finding cap juicy lemon when I needed it. Though I can get it easily now, I had trouble at the time since it is a restricted import.
