The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Energy Drink recreates popular energy-soda profiles: bright lemon/lime sparkle, a soft red-berry heart (raspberry/cherry) and a subtle tonic bitterness for authentic fizz—great for sodas/lemonades, slushes and candy-style fruit blends.
Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol. Note: We purchase in bulk and re-bottle into smaller bottles (not the original packaging).

Tips for this flavour

- Fruit pairings: strawberry, Raspberry Sweet, cherry, Pineapple Juicy, Lemon Lime II, grape.
- Candy roundness: 0.25–0.7% Gummy Candy or a light Sweetener.
- Balance bitterness: smooth with 0.25–0.5% Marshmallow/Vanilla Swirl.
