Watermelon Spritzer

submitted about 6 years ago by Phatpharm269Mixologist

Added proper details since the initial post was rushed

I got some new flavors in, and was playing with some pairings of stuff that's tried & true.

This one I really like and have received good feedback. So I thought I would share!

I find it quite refreshing

LA Watermelon 6%
FA Fuji Apple 1.5%
FA Pear 1%
VT Fizzy Sherbert 0.5%
INW Cactus 0.2%

🍉 Watermelon is the star obviously, but it lacks quite a bit of range. I found 🌵 cactus adds this one note outside the range to keep this mix from getting too 'homogenous'. Just enough to pop without becoming a distraction.

Apple wasn't my first choice, it was pineapple, but wasn't working. Apple gives a strong, but even, mid-layer running parallel with the 🍉.

Pear is mainly to enhance the apple but also helps push this vape in a juicy direction. Which is always the experience when eating this summer treat. Staying strong with the theme of refreshment.

Fizzy Sherbert was the wildcard. I had to keep it low to not have a clashing citrus (the reason why pineapple failed) but still be able to add to the main theme. At 0.5% it brings a note below the rest to help give definition to the mid/top layers. Contrast helps a lot!

Enjoy!

Bonus recipe:

Raspberry Sherbert

VT Fizzy Sherbert 2.5%
INW Malina Raspberry 0.8%

The two come together real well. Raspberry isn't super obvious but it fills in the profile nicely.

I was thinking along the lines of a pink lemonade but more like a spritzer version.

2.5% is good for a mountain dew-esque soda. It's tasty, but a little powdery tho...

That's where the raspberry comes in nicely. It overwrites the bottom profile enough to cover Fizzy's sins. Adds some nice complexity in the middle, but still weak enough to not try to become the star of the show. As this concentrate is well known to do that.

If you do feel like you want raspberry to be stronger, I have taken it all the way to 1.5%

If it seems to have too much bite, 80%VG can help smooth things out.

Side benefit: Low total flavor % is good to have around in one's rotation.

Sherbert, Watermelon & Cactus are new additions to my stash. Will play around more. Thanks for all the contributions and helping spark some creativity! This sub rocks

> How is VT Fizzy Sherbert?

When I SFT'd it, I thought it tased like lime. A really good lime flavor but nothing I'd describe as fizz. I let a couple of other people try it and they claimed their was a fizz to it. I dunno, maybe because I explained I wasn't getting it. I gotta try it again.

Yea, I dont really get fizz either, at any percentage (1-3.5%)

Yup, me too: I didn't get any fizz. One of the reasons I bought it is the claimed "fizzy" aspect. None there.

It's been a decent citrus addition, as my others have not been all that helpful lol. FA Key lime, FA Lemon Sicily & TFA Orange Cream lol.

I liken Fizzy to perhaps Mountain Dew

Oranges are my obsession, and TFA orange cream sucks. I suggest exploring FW blood orange, FA Mandarin, CAP sweet tangerine, and INW shisha orange to get a better idea of what good orange flavors are capable of.

Long ago I chased the perfect van orange creme. Perhaps it's time to give it a try again 👍

Thx

Thanks for the recipes! I mixed up the raspberry sherbet this morning and its pretty spot on! Will be definitely adding this to my rotation. As a 3% mix, I need more of these in my arsenal

You're very welcome 😁

Some of my mixes have gotten quite high in flavoring, so I was glad to hit a decent but simple recipe to rotate in.
