For AAFL Seldom or Never used Flavors. Mixed Live on Wickin' It & Kickin' IT 7/13. I really dug into the depths of a giant unsorted box of flavors for a couple of these. Just hoping for a nice summery berry and citrus beverage. Utilizing some flavors that I not only have Never tried, but didn't even realize I had
So this really surprised me. Its a lot lighter and more refreshing than I had anticipated. That doesn't mean its lacking any body or texture. Quite the contrary.
The Orange Tang and Sorbet Base is the main base layer everything else sits on tops of. Similar to how you'd use a lemonade as the nucleus of a citrus beverage. But the orange notes aren't dominant in the profile. It's light, and brightens up the darker berry notes allowing them to shine as top notes. The Lemonade from Raspberry blackberry lemonade just further contributes to this.
The Sorbet Base adds body, and a very subtle almost cooling effect. Adding the tiny bit of hibiscus helps with just a touch of syrupy feel.
Guava Darkberry lends a perfect tropical accent, and the Dark berry pairs perfectly with the Berries in the Lemonade.
This a perfect summer time refresher that seriously pulls off a Slushy better than any others I've attempted in the past. The Sorbet can be a little overpowering at first so this will need like 7 to 10 days to fully round out. Its possible the Sorbet could be lowered a little to taste but I am extremely happy with this. Especially considering this was a Seldom/Never used flavor challenge
