Created with Fresh03 & Friends during the "Mixing For Mike" show on 6/12. Fidalgo Vapes' donation earned him a recipe by the mixer of his choice, and he asked me to make him a Strap-On (STRawberry APple watermelON) using Medicine Flower flavors as the main ingredients.
This was a little tough because I'd never used any MF melon, strawberry, or apple flavors before. A bunch of Medicine Flower samples came in the mail fairly recently though, so I had them on hand. Rule of thumb with these things, start low, as they are very highly concentrated. Only had one each of watermelon and strawberry to play with, and after smelling Red, Golden, and Green apples, I knew Red was the one I wanted. If you smelled all three MF apples, you'd pick Red, too. Strawberry didn't smell quite as strong as some of their others and after consulting ELR about it, I decided to go with 1.25%. Red Apple at 1%. I was already dripping in 0.75% Watermelon when Fidalgo himself answered my call for help and said to go with a way lower amount. He was right, 0.75% was overly rindy and a little soapy, and I could tell it was from too much watermelon. Tried it again at 0.4% and it worked beautifully. This was a balanced mix of flavorful, very natural fruit, no candy at all. Just a bowl of chopped watermelon, fresh strawberry, and red apple. I knew going it I was going to add something to this to make it something special for Fidalgo, but didn't know what until I tasted it and Def Leppard started playing in my head. Pour some sugar on me! Not sweetener, sugar. "Pour some sucralose on me" just doesn't not sound sexy at all. These fruits tasted so natural and I didn't want to candy sweeten them with sweeter fruits or just throw sweetener on them, I wanted them to taste like they'd been sprinkled with sugar right on top. A little bit of OoO Powdered Sugar did the trick. I think this recipe is done, but it is subject to change after I try my samples for the Noted: Sugar episode coming up on 6/21.
