So after creating the initial version, V1.0, I tried 4 variations on that. Of the 4, this one stood out the most. I intend to make more variations on this in the future, but I'm about Orange Soda'd out on attempts right now.
What I will say is that I feel Sweet Tangerine should NOT be the forerunner in this mix, as I originally thought. In future variations, I will be dropping it down to 3% and putting more focus on the FA Orange and FA Mandarin, as those orange flavors have much more "pop" to them.
Even with the Cola percentages at such low values, you can still taste it, but I can't hardly taste the fizz as much as I'd like. I'm considering abandoning the Cola flavors in lieu of Champagne of Cinnamon to provide the fizz in later variants, but for now I'll keep pursuing this avenue. Also, I intend to get FA Cola in the future, so I might try it with that instead of the 2 that I have.
I forgot to add that this flavor is pretty good. It's not exactly where I'd like it, but as a starting point if you can't find another good Orange Soda, it's worth at least mixing it up and see how you'd like to modify it to suit your needs.
I was thinking chapagne also. I'm about to make my first coke recipe and am trying to figure out one. I mixed juicy orange sweet nectarine and real flavors soda base.
