Best mint (and snail flavours?)

[Deleted]

Not menthol
Not creamy mint
Not spearmint sweet flavour

Looking for a concentrate that is closest to mint leaves ... any recommendations?

Shameless bump ... somebody stop me from making Bogey Juice II

Have you tried steeping in vodka instead of PG? Can't find any commercial genuine mint I'm afraid

I've only really used TPA's peppermint, very nice but not really what your looking for I believe..... What flavour are you hoping to make Ash if you don't mind me asking?

It's a bummer innit ... I might go down the extraction route again ... with white rum rather than vodka

Trying to amend a mojito recipe which currently works really well but I want it more accurate. I've been using DV Spearmint but not really a mint person to be honest, not keen on experimenting and investing with lots of flavours since I rarely use mint. I'd also be keen to get a green tone to the juice for this one.

I know there are some mojito flavours out there but I like to construct from scratch.

I might experiment myself come the weekend. I've been trying to construct a chai latte juice, but can't get all the spices I need. So I could just bung the real spices in some vodka and see what happens. Probably brown bogey juice!

that was a good link Jen ... and only 2 days for fresh herbs. Suspect that was where I went wrong with my past attempt with PG and herbs

Welcomes

Get some basil in there! Then some tomatoes and mozzarella, add some FA bread and you've got pizza juice

Popped your thread onto Mixology proper Ash . . . as I think you'll maybe get more response here as not many people seem to look/post on the Concentrate Reviews. 


Health Cabin do a Mint and a Peppermint flavouring, but it's a long way to buy from if that's all you're after.
