Jay Z Boston Cooler

[JayZ]

Hi, I wanted to share this recipe because I have learn so much around this forum, and I want to hear some feedback about it, I am not inside the US, and floats and this kind of soft drinks/shakes are not usual here, I have no way to compare it to the real thing.

I went digging for the original Boston cooler, which is a "shake" more than a float, the most famous version is the one that carries the name of Boston cooler, since it was originally made with Ginger Ale which was aged in oak barrels for 7 years (Vernors), and simply adding a good old' scoop of vanilla ice cream to it and giving it a good mix with the ale. (I could be completely wrong here and it might be a float)

There are some variations to it, some peeps add french vanilla, some use regular ginger ale.


5.00% Vanilla Bean Gelato (The Flavor Apprentice)
2.00% Custard (Flavor Art)
1.50% Cola (Flavor Art)
1.00% Marshmallow (Flavor Art)
1.00% Meringue (Flavor Art)
0.50% Vienna Cream (Flavor Art)
0.50% Vanilla Bourbon (Flavor Art)
0.50% Vanillin @10% Solution
0.25% Ginger (Nature Flavor's)
0.25% Oakwood (Flavor Art)

A variation I would try in the future is swapping Cola for Champagne, and see what happens if it goes into a more acidic bubbly version
Another variation could be not adding oakwood at all, pretty much like a traditional ginger ale, you can also add french vanilla here, but I did it and for me it didn't brought anything to the mix at lower %
Finally add sweetner to taste, if any at all, I just find that in my mind, a vanilla ice cream should be on the sweeter side of the scale, but that's just me.

Thanks, I hope someone tries it, I found that at 4.2 volts it fills your mouth with a lot of flavour (Of course you could try this % and then dillute if it is too much for you, or cut down in half or 3/4 my suggested %)

Please comment, it's kinda scary posting with all the amazing people on this forum!

Oh wow! That sounds like creamy vanilla ginger goodness! I need to get that gelato, or the vanilla bean ice cream.

Yep, you described a float. Nice job, JayZ! thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you Huck! I hope someone has all the ingredients to try it out! you know the drill with all the recipes, you are always one or two ingredients short!

Looks great, sadly I lack the final 2!

These are huge in Michigan. Love them. Sadly don't have all of them

Looks great, sadly I lack the final 2!

You can try without those and just adding more cola to the mix, that's probably just something like a traditional float

No, No!! no cola fa for champagne.. and yes I am sitting here vaping this right now.. my variation..

changes are in blue

5.00% Vanilla Bean Gelato (The Flavor Apprentice) 4% French Vanilla (Nicvapes)
2.00% Custard (Flavor Art)
1.50% Cola (Flavor Art) 4% tfa cola syrup <the best realistic soda, with bubbles that is not flat and doesnt taste like a diet coke gone wrong
1.00% Marshmallow (Flavor Art) 2% tfa marshmallow, only because i am out of the fa one..
1.00% Meringue (Flavor Art)
0.50% Vienna Cream (Flavor Art)
0.50% Vanilla Bourbon (Flavor Art)
0.50% Vanillin @10% Solution
0.25% Ginger (Nature Flavor's) 2% Smoky's ginger extract, done last year.. I do not like nf ginger.. its just not for me..
0.25% Oakwood (Flavor Art)

this is close to my hot gingerale, but as a float version.. the changes i did, I tried to explain why..
champagne will leave a nasty taste once steeped.. the nf ginger.. no.. something about it, just doesnt work for me..
i have tried over the last year with nf ginger and happy, even tho i used the last bits of my extracted ginger, it's alright..
will be making more ginger extract this month..
I think that I will up the vanillin to 1.5% and add just a drop of caramel or butterscotch to this, to give it a stick to the mouth appeal

good going, @JayZ I love me some gingerale and floats are some of my favs

 

[JayZ]

Thanks @Smoky Blue I will try some French Vanilla from Nicvapes, and I never tought about using Cola from TPA, in fact I think I have missed it the whole time, and I would love to add some TPA butterscotch to this!!

But now you got to tell me how did you extract ginger by yourself!! Don't leave me hanging!

 

[Smoky Blue]

Make sure it is "Cola Syrup" by tfa..

as for my ginger.. at this time, I can not say a word. except watch out..
this is not like NF's ginger at all. I have a friend I need to have a chat with, will see.

I'm anxious to try this one, too. I think I'm missing 1 flavor. It's time to look at my wish list and place an order.
