Chef's Fantasy Range

[jtc]

Anyone got any experience with these. Are they fizzy, cold and in general any good please? 🤔

Not seen this range so will keep an eye on this thread 👍

Chris ceedee might be able to give you some feedback as I think he's tried a few of the flavours jtc .

From what I've read people seem to be using them as ' one shot ' mixes largely, opinion appears to be divided on whether they contain a touch of coolant or not - haven't used any of them personally so I've no first hand experience to share.

Just I've seen a few recipes mixing these together that's peaked my interest. Might try like 2 or 3 and see. I think a little champagne and WS23 might go well 🤔😉

I've tried a handful of them so far. Blackcurrant, Mango and the Strawberry are lovely standalone 18-20% and they do have some cooling but only slight. Tried Apple as well but it was too candy like for my taste.

I tried the entire range when they were first introduced and although I didn't get on with all the flavours (my tastebuds are particularly fickle!), reckoned they were great value.
I'd agree with TJ that 18-20% would be where to start experimenting as a stand-alone.
Most have a very slight cooling edge (probably WS-23) so you'll probably want to add more if that's what you're after. 
Well worth testing, especially at Chefs' bargain prices.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've seen some recipes on elr that I like the look of that mix some of these together. I'm thinking I'll add some soda base and maybe a touch more WS23 just to give them a little lift
