This was my attempt on cloning a local shops flavor that I have been stuck on for quite awhile, and I came pretty close though I prefer mine to theirs now. I would love to get some feedback and definitely some suggestions if anybody has any! I am just trying to complete an ADV I can mix myself instead of experimenting with multiple flavors at once, though that's where this came from. I was on a mixing mission and this was one I was really looking forward to making. As it came close the first go around I decided to solely focus on this flavor until I perfect it before moving on to other recipes which is why I am really looking for some tips or suggestions to make it better! Thanks in advance for any feedback, I really hope at least one person enjoys this as it is my first shared recipe!
Edit: Thank you all for the replies! Going in for some tweaks and new flavors this weekend. Much appreciated!
You should look into the following:
VT Fizzy Sherbet
FA Polar Blast
WS-23
And try to reduce that flavor used... 19.5% is gonna put people off. Yeah, the flavors may be so weak they need to be used that high, but...
if it's a 80 vg 20% flavoring isn't unheard of
Sometimes higher percents of flavoring can mute the flavor of the final product. Try lowering flv lemon to 1-2 percent, maybe add inawera lemon shisha at .75-1.25% to give it a sort of sherbety-fizz. Key lime natural has sugar in it which is pretty not great for your lungs when vaporized. I would go with inawera lime shisha, fa Florida key lime, one of the fa lime Tahiti's, or a combination of 2 or 3 of those. Stay low percentages with any of them, max out at 3% maybe 3.5 if you're only using one, 1-1.5% if more. Play with different combos if you want to really tune it in.
I wouldn't use citrus punch or soda base, but I don't have experience. However, from what it looks like you're trying to do, I think the inawera shisha citruses would give you the beverage feel you want, sorta like a blended margarita/real fruit popsicle/sherbet type of smooth fizz. Fa key lime + (fw lemonade 2%, flv lemon at .5-1%, or fa lemon Sicily (listed last on purpose) at 1.5%.
If I were making this flavor profile, I would go
Fw lemonade 1%
Inw lemon shisha 1.5%
Inw lime shisha 1.5%
Fa key lime 1.5%
I don't know orange flavors, so I can't speak to that.
