Strawberry Peach Guavagasm
Description
I LOVE guava! Originally this was going to be a guava/peach mix focused around CAP Sweet Guava and FLV Saturn Peach but I decided to go a different route with Saturn Peach and instead went with more of a strawberry peach guava recipe.
CAP Sweet Guava is so good and so prominent that it can easily handle being the only guava here.
At first I went with just a straight fruit mix but eventually I decided to try a lemonade thrown in there. FW Lemonade is one of my favorites and it's tartness adds a nice bright spot to everything. I wouldn't necessarily call this a lemonade but more of a mixed fruit drink
For the Peach aspect I originally used Saturn Peach but it didn't seem to play very well with everything else. Instead I went with the tried and true JF Honey Peach. It's good enough on it's own to carry a hint of peachiness without tasting off but it mainly adds a nice syrupy sweet element to everything.
Finally, the strawberry element. I'm probably the pickiest person I know of when it comes to strawberry flavors. I'm a bit of strawberry super taster I suppose. I get a lot of green notes, chemical aftertaste and other off notes from A LOT of strawberries. Luckily, CAP Ripe Strawberries and INW Shisha Strawberry are flavors that I really like with no off notes. They blend well here giving the whole thing a syrupy sweet yet somewhat authentic strawberry taste.
To sweeten everything up I used PUR Super Sweet at 0.75%. I originally tried CAP SS at 0.5 but it wasn't quite sweet enough and 0.75 was too much. PUR SS let's me pump it to 0.75% without being too sweet or too cotton killing. As always though, use whatever sweetener at whatever percentage you like best.
I really dig how this one turned out. If you love guava and strawberry with a hint of peach I hope you like this mix! Enjoy!
