Recipe Rescue

[bobnat]

So, I made a juice called Raspberry Custard months ago and it was great after a month. I then made 150ml due it needing to sit for a month. However, I had added .5% Inwera Cactus due to it supposedly making fruits pop, come alive, etc. I've used FA Pear many times and it works, so the Cactus being a new addition, I thought, what the hell. The problem is all I taste is fucking Cactus. What a nasty taste. Who in their right mind would eat a cactus? Anyway, I have a couple of ideas, but I'd like to solicit suggestions from folks who might have done the same. Here's the recipe.

Apple Pie - FA 2%
Cactus - Inw 0.5
Meringue - FA 1
Raspberry - Inw 1
Sweet Raspberry - TPA 2
V. Custard v1 - CAP 5
Vienna Cream - FA 1.5

Mixed at 40/60 @ 5mg

Any and all suggestions will be seriously considered. I have about 150 flavors available. I'm not as concerned with the loss of the ingredients as I am with the loss of time.

Thanks.

Well I guess I'm not alone cause I thought the Cactus was nasty too.
If it only took 0.5% to overpower the Raspberries OMG.
Other than adding more Raspberry you might try adding 2-3% Shisha Strawberry.
Gonna take a powerful flavor to cover it up I think.
Maybe some Lime

Drown it in Game Over Custard

TPA Dragonfruit has emulsifying/ muting properties ... might silence Cactus and keep the Rasberry................

Cactus taste great with lime and apple, (real drink and vape!)I don't go higher than 0.3 It can begin to taste aloe'e at high percentages.
I def wouldn't add it to a custard, fruit blends only!! Can still add juiciness at 0.15%
Inw now has prickly pear... I thought cactus was prickly pear???

I like that idea...lime and raspberry sounds good to me. I'll take 10ml and try it. Thanks.

I wish. I've got it all but the FW Graham Cracker, and I just received a larger order today.

I'll give that a try for 10ml. I've used DF before with mixing strawberries and it's ok as long as it's low. Thanks.

Well, lesson learned about custards. Next time I'll leave well enough alone. Thanks.

The only recipe that I know of where INW Cactus shines is a "Grack juice".

FA raspberry or FA forest fruit could prove quite efficient cactus killers....

maybe try a different avenue with I wouldnt say absolutely never put cactus in custard vapes. I knew this one guy who had a pretty popular strawberry custard said the seceret ingredient was cactus

It could be. One of the things I'll try is diluting a 10 ml bottle with 15 ml of the original recipe. That should bring it down to 0.17%. Now I just have to find the damn time.

I have the latter so I'll give that a try as well. The upside of this problem is it'll teach me something.

So, here's an update. I've tried quite a few things to rescue this batch. Nothing has worked, the cactus is just always there in varying degrees and it ruins the raspberry.

Lesson learned...I hope.
