####Q: How do flavors get put on the schedule?
####A: Requests and suggestions from people like YOU!
If there's something you'd like to see, just post a request in this thread. You can request both a specific flavor profile and where it lands on the calendar.
My favorite recipe using Pineapple is an ADV for me I came up with called
Sunrise
1% INW Cactus 4% Cap Golden Pineapple 4% TFA Peach Juicy 2% TFA Dragonfruit
The amount of Cactus can be increased if you're a fan of the flavour and I'll at times go up to 2% for a bit of extra bite to it but overall it's a great summer mix where the Cactus and Dragonfruit bring out the flavor pairing of the Pineapple and Peach very well
Can the cap golden pineapple ve replaced with tpa juicy pineapple or are they too different?
I haven't tried juicy pineapple but looking up the flavour profile it seems fairly similar so you shouldn't have any issue substituting it
Ambrosia
- 6% Ambrosia (Purilum)
- 2% Funky Pineapple (Molinberry)
- 1.2% Coconut (FA)
- 0.2% AAA Magic Mask (FA)
- 0.5% Super Sweet (Cap)
Notes:
- The Ambrosia (Purilum) could be used lower than 6% if mixing a big batch as it continues getting stronger over time.
- The AAA Magic Mask was needed because Ambrosia (Purilum) can get harsh after it steeps.
- The super sweet was added because it needed it.
- Funky Pineapple was added to boost the pineapple in Ambrosia - and it's the best pineapple.
- Coconut FA was added because I felt it needed more coconut - though I'm not sure FA's coconut was the best choice. A creamy coconut flavor may have been better.
It still needed a touch more refining but local stores stopped selling Ambrosia (Purilum).
Only been mixing a couple of months can pineapple be used as a single flavor or is it better to pair it with something else?
Has anyone created a Pineapple Trilogy?
My favorite Pineapple recipe has got to be EyeAmSam's - "Yes, We Pineapple" It is an awesome pineapple cheesecake recipe that I have been a big fan of since he released it. If you need a recipe for this weeks Noted episode, I highly suggest reviewing this one on the show.
MB sucks for making me fall in love with Funky Pineapple then cutting me off without warning like a Dr afraid of a narcotics lawsuit. I'm so bitter at them I haven't even tried my bottle of MB Pineapple Lassi, I don't want to get my heart broken again. SSA Thai + VT Sugarloaf are pretty amazing pineapples + I still shamelessly use CAP Golden. FA's Costa Rican + Kenyan Pineapples were both alright, not bad at all but not amazing on their own, worth toying with imo. MF Pineapple is really good, but idk if it's $19-24 per 15ml good. Unfortunately INW's is oniony to me, which is terrible bc I hate onions. TPA's is harsh af, on top of tasting like a pineapple that was forgotten in the dumpster at the bottom of the garbage pile for a week in mid summer.
Love pineapple. INW is my favorite. Usually you'll need to bump it up to 4%. I back it up with 1% CAP golden pineapple. Last week I picked up CAP fresh pineapple and SSA tai pineapple. The CAP has some notes that are good, fresh pineapple. It has more of a candy finish. SSA is more like a apple and pineapple. It's interesting but I'm not going to use it in a pina colada. If you're looking for a candy pineapple. WF has a good candy pineapple. LA pineapple is like Dave has said a pineapple Life Savers.
For some reason the VT sugarloaf pineapple and I don't mix...
LA Pina Colada tastes exactly like one of the Pina Colada LifeSavers from the Life Savers tropical pack. I actually haven't tried LA Pineapple but I wouldn't be surprised.
LOL, you're right Dave I brought up pina coladas and then candies. Then I remembered what you said about LA thinking it was pineapple.
Interested in what you think about CAP fresh pineapple. The next time I mix up pina colada I'm going to mix some in.
I’m aware that one night in the pineapple fields in Maui, many pineapples were stolen, brought back to a house, hollowed out and filled with a mixture of rum and pineapple juice. They were ripe golden pineapples and if you’re a green pineapple person you’re doing it wrong. #originstory
I have a recipe I really enjoy using pineapple. It's called Hwah Punch it's a Hawaiian punch. 0.4% MB Apricot, 1% Cap Dbl Apple, 3.5% Cap Golden Pineapple, 0.75% FE Mango, 0.5% WF Orange Citrus Tangy, & 2.75% Cap Sweet Guava. Sweeten & Coolant to taste. Delicious Mix.
