Monkey Juice (Strawberry Banana) Pod Recipe - TBD Liquids Handcrafted Salts

Monkey Juice - A Strawberry Banana Delight from TBD's Handcrafted Salts Line

Introduction: A Taste of Transformation

Have you ever wondered how a misstep in the kitchen can lead to a triumphant masterpiece? My journey with the Monkey Juice recipe epitomizes exactly that transformation. A symbol of perseverance, this recipe embodies my relentless quest for perfection in our handcrafted salts line. Here's the story of Monkey Juice's evolution from a pod-challenged flavor to a strawberry-banana delight.

The Challenge: Tackling the Pod Puzzle

The launch of our handcrafted line began with an experiment on three unique e-juice flavors. Everything was smooth sailing, except for one stumble - the infamous Monkey Juice. This recipe proved challenging as I shifted from our signature e-liquid line to the subtleties of pods, where traditional drippers or tanks didn't deliver the same punch. It was a frustrating time, especially when the flavors fell flat and just didn't resonate with our fans.

The Twist: Dessert Disaster

Ambitiously, I reimagined our signature Monkey Juice from a fruity blend into a strawberry banana milkshake for the new handcrafted line. The response? Less than stellar. Fans were taken aback, some even detecting an unexpected peanut butter taste. The feedback left me disheartened, but not defeated.

The Redemption: From Failure to Flavor Fiesta

Refusing to give up, I sought inspiration from one of my favorite banana flavors, Bombie's Nana Cream. Armed with an arsenal of new flavorings from 2019, I set out to elevate the original concept. A light, tropical banana, but with a rich, multi-layered experience was my aim.

The Recipe: Crafting the Perfect Monkey Juice for Pods

1. VT Shisha Banana (Link): Ripe and natural, less candy-like than LA's Banana Cream.
2. INW Shisha Strawberry (Link): Sweet and subtle, this strawberry accentuates the banana without overpowering it.
3. LA Banana Cream (Link): An essential element, choose the colorless version for coil longevity.
4. Cap Golden Pineapple (Link): A touch of brightness and juiciness that can invigorate most fruit flavors.
5. Cap Super Sweet (Link): A sprinkle to tantalize your sweet receptors.

Mix Ratio: 65% VG / 35% PG – Slightly thicker for a fuller flavor.
