Since I was on a custard kick I was thinking and suddenly my mind said "Hey man, I wounder how mint would taste with custard". Soooo, I did a quick Google search, lo and behold, this popped up http://www.food.com/recipe/wicklewood-rsquo-s-school-day-rsquo-s-green-custard-439398#activity-feed
So I mixed this up and it is strangely good and hard to put down. There are some recipes that call for creme de menthe, but alas I have none:(.

Cool Mint(CAP) 2-3% (I did 3% but feel 2% would be plenty to keep the custard more noticeable)
Custard(INW) 2%
Fresh Cream(FA)1%
Vanilla Bourbon(INW or FA) .5% (I'm sure Classic would work)
Give it a week or more to steep.

If you have creme de menthe and try it, please let me know how it works out.
(Who makes a good creme de menthe? I feel this mix is worth the pursuit of different minty avenues.)

Interesting, I've never thought of a minty custard. I might have to try it. Thanks for sharing.

Well, as luck would have it, I don't have the mint flavor, so I'll have to save this one for another day. :(

The recipe in the link I posted calls for peppermint. That should work if you have it. I used Cool Mint because I felt it was the closest to creme de menthe.

For the minty part of a Grasshopper (Wisconsin style) juice mix I used 5.5% TPA Creme de Menthe and 1% TPA Mint candy. I thought it worked out fine.

I keep toying with the idea of an after dinner mint candy juice. I would not hesitate to use it for that.

oh you know what now that I think i have tried a minty version. i remember i mixed HICs doublemint (FA peppermint and FA spearmint) with some caps custard. that might be a little different route if some peeps dont have the same ingreedients your creme de menthe angle is pretty genius though bet it is super good

In the past, I've tried 8% TFA VBIC + 6% FW Crème De Menthe and it was pretty good. I've thought of subbing the VBIC with Caps VC1, but never mixed it.

Your mint ideal would most likely work here. I like HIC's double mint. Try INW Custard if you get a chance it's a lot different than CAPs . I got the creme de menthe idea from here. http://www.food.com/recipe/mint-custard-35581

Will do! I took a chance and made 12ml today.
My 3 year old TPA Creme de Menthe smelled close to the mint in Listerine Freshburst mouthwash :eek: I used it @ 6%.
(With the FA Bourbon Vanilla choice, percentages and other ingredients as per your recipe)
18mg VT 50/50

I must admit, after giving the mix a good shaking, it did smell good!

Well, it's been a week since I mixed the above and I thought it was time for a sample. I loaded up the REO and started squonking.

Remember when you had some beer and anchovy pizza, tried to freshen your breath with a mint, and then vomited in your mouth?

Well, this mix is nothing like that. If that was your desired flavor profile you will have to look elsewhere. Sorry! :(

I'll admit I'm not a big fan of custard juices. The mint addition in this recipe, while probably a bit high for many, was just right to suppress the notes I usually find objectionable to in most custard flavored mixes. While the custard presence took a back seat to the mint, the result was a very smooth vape in both inhale & exhale. For me, everything was in a nice balance and just a wee bit on the sweet side.

I also got mild buttery notes. Not the butter flavor resulting from ingestion of common after dinner mints; but more like that when INW Biscuit is employed in a cookie recipe. (But on a much lighter strength scale.)

All in all a good vape juice and recipe. For my personal preferences, I think I would more enjoy replacement of the custard with INW Creme Brule or ice creams/vanilla swirl. Another week or more of ageing could change that...I guess. But again, I'm not a big custard fan.

Just my 2 cents, :popcorn:

I think FW Creme de Menthe will be included in my next flavor order.
