Blue Frost Revisited

Revised, reformulated, and remixed. It's been almost 2 years since I made the original and in the last year it hasn't changed. But I'd kind of always wanted to go back and simplify the mix. When I got my hands on some WS-23 one of the first things I thought after trying it was that it was the "Frost" I needed in Blue Frost.

With new found inspiration I decided to strip Blue Frost down to the essentials. I dropped the FLV Raspberry, FW Razzleberry and TFA Sweetener; the first two because they are superfluous and the last because I never really used sweetener when I mixed it for myself (and when I do Cap/PUR Super Sweet are the way to go.) Wayne was right about the Razzleberry watering down the mix and the candied raspberry effect it brought to the table was already covered by the combination of Raspberry Sweet and Blue Raspberry Cotton Candy.

Cap Hibiscus: I'd seen it mentioned several times that this flavor works well in slushee mixes and in ConcreteRiver's review he describes a "Lingering sticky sweet mouthfeel, again more pronounced with higher wattages. Almost like the way the syrup in a slurpee sticks to your mouth long after you take a sip."

And, of course, he's right. It works well to bridge the gaps and enhance the syrupy aspect of Blue Slush.

WS-23: This stuff is the best coolant I've tried, hands down. I worked my way up from .25% and it kept getting colder and colder with no perceptible off notes or funky muskiness like I get from Koolada (as low as .5%) At %1 it's a perfect frost, adding all the cold without affecting any of the flavor. This stuff is amazing and quite addicting, I kind of want to put it in everything now.

The original Blue Frost was 90% where I wanted it and after working on it so long, I was satisfied with where it was at. Now it's 100% to my palate and officially done. So if you've tried Blue Frost, please mix this up and let me know what you think :)
