Tips for this flavour
- Dosing start: 6–9% standalone; 0.5–4% as an accent. High % can turn pithy/soapy.
- Build the fizz: 0.25–0.75% Sweet & Tart + 0.25–0.5% Sour for true soda bite.
- Pairings: strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, Kiwi Double, mango, passionfruit, cola.
- Slush/cool: 0.2–0.6% Menthol Liquid for a chilled finish without mint flavour.
- Sweeten/round: 0.1–0.3% Sweetener and/or 0.25–0.5% Marshmallow/Vanilla Swirl.
- Steeping: 0–3 days—citrus settles fast; tweak sweet/tart balance after a short rest.
