Tipsy Pear

What a time to be alive.. where you don’t have to actually drink alcohol to enjoy a great cocktail but simply can vape one.

tl;dr this is an alcohol infused pear recipe.

Story

My journey to create this recipe started last year when Tom Klark released a winterseries of alcoholic longfills. One of them that changed my mind on boozey vapes forever was Tom Klarks #05 Rum Orangeblossom. I couldn’t believe that the booze in this liquid made me feel warm inside and tricked me into thinking that I took a sip of a fking rum. Whoa. Soon after I ordered all rum flavorings I could find wanting to recreate what had long become my adv at this point. The new released SSA Bakery Oranges seemed like the perfect starting point but even after countless revisions I never was satisfied with the outcome. The orange was too bright, FLV Heat wasn’t the warmth I needed, VTA Light Rum didn’t bringt enough boozyness. I didn’t give up but I kicked out the orange and tried my luck with pear instead. Thank you @SteveTC for that suggestion! Who doesn’t like to vape pear? The taste of a pear is like it’s actually made to be vaped. God I love pears.

What I made back then wasn’t perfect imo but it was okay. I shared that recipe called Tipsy Nashi with my friends from VAPICON and they seemed to like it but I was disappointed and stopped working on it for some months. (This was the recipe btw: Tipsy Nashi)

Ingredients

As soon as the new FLV flavorings arrived at my door I knew that it was time to pick it up again.

• FLV Pearesto tastes like it’s made to be paired with booze. A sweet, heavy canned pear. Amazing!

• Also I bought VTA Russian Vodka in the meantime that adds a little bit of the boozyness I was missing from Light Rum.

• FA Jamaican Special gives the spiced body.

• VTA Light Rum adds a slightly sweet boozey topnote.

• FLV Sour Apple adds some tartness that compliments the alcoholic feeling

• and MB Shape Up Pear simply boosts the pear flavor in all aspects.

Additional Notes

• If you need even more booze you can try to up the Vodka but above 1% it seems to mute the other flavorings and becomes medicinal at some point.
• If you’re a fan of spicyness try to add 0.2% of FA Cardamom. That’s a nice little twist.
• FA Jamaican can also be upped up to 1% but it’s a bit too sweet and heavy for me at that point.

This recipe is probably still not perfect but it will never be. There’s always something you can change and I decided to make it public now at version 20 or something since I really enjoy it and wanna hear your thoughts!
