Chocolate Mint (Aero style) and chocolate...oh and peach!

[lemental]

1) Anyone have a good recipe for a chocolate mint please?  Looking for something along the lines of Aero milk chocolate mint flavour rather than After Eight dark choc/peppermint.

2) Also looking for recommendations of decent chocolate concentrates, milk or plain.

3) Also looking for a good non-artificial juicy peach concentrate

Thanks

I'm more of a after eight man. I premix CCW chocolate and coconut and (currently) silver spoon peppermint, all at 20%, then mix them 20 parts choc to 5 parts peppermint to one part coconut; and finally add 1 drop per 10 ml of bitter wizard.

If you wanted a milk choc, I'd try leaving out the bitter wizard, and replacing the CCW choc with maybe capella milk choc.

One of Perpetua's threads is about chocolate - always worth trying the forum search for this sort of thing - type 'chocolate' in the 'thread contains' box, click the 'in the board' box, check the mixology concentrate reviews box, click the 'display in threads' button and click search.

I don't remember any peach reviews though. I've only tried CCW peach, didn't think much of it.

giles- Thanks. I normally use the search function but for some reason it wasn't working when I tried it earlier. Appears to be now though

Thank you for the recipe and modification suggestions. I'll get those concentrates and give it a whirl.

-edit- not sure I understand your percentages fully.  Are you essentially saying that you mix 20% chocolate, 5% peppermint and 1% coconut?

Capella or TPA's Double Chocolate are both very yummy I think lemental . . . a creamy milk choccie flavour. They both take a time to steep, 3-4 weeks to be at their bestest.

Either of those with a little peppermint would give you a good result I'd think.

Not big on Peach, I'm using Health Cabin's currently . . . their fruits tend to be more candy shop, which suits me, but probably won't be what you're looking for there.

Not really, though it would probably be close enough. My total flavouring is 20%. So just over 15% of my final total would be choc, just under 4% would be peppermint and just under 1% would be coconut.

I premix, or sometimes put 4ml of choc flavour, 1 ml of peppermint flavour and 0.2 ml of coconut flavour in a bottle and top it up to 26 ml with premixed nic/PG or nic/VG (I mostly do 100 % PG, but occasionally like a lot of vapour; and I do a VG version anyway for a friend who vapes nothing else)

Thanks Perpetua - Will pick up the Capella this time. Will also pick up some peppermint flavour.

giles - Thanks. Was getting a little confused but it's clear now
