Creamsicle
FA Blood Orange 3%
FA Royal Orange 1.5%
FLV Creamsicle 2.5%
SSA Ice Cream 1.5%
WF Vanilla Cream Extra 0.8%
CAP Super Sweet 0.5%
Steep time: 3-4 weeks / off the mix it is very good, but it does do better with time / after 5 days, it's very tasty
Note: Creams will always do best with a longer steep. As usual, YMMV.
The orange notes come from FA BO, FA RO and FLV Creamsicle. Together they create a very excellent tasting orange profile. For the main orange note I featured Blood Orange for its zesty notes. Also, FA BO is fade resistant (always a good thing!).
FA Royal Orange is basically an orange juice flavor. It also adds some sweetness and minor creaminess. I always use it with FA BO for a more complete tasting orange profile.
FLV Creamsicle is just a straight-up creamsicle flavor. The orange and ice cream are even taste-wise (per my SFT). In the mix it adds a nice orange to the overall orange profile with a light zestiness. It has a tasty vanilla ice cream note. I felt it was not a strong enough orange to be used on its own. It pops with the other oranges.
For this mix I wanted more creaminess and more ice cream flavor. SSA Ice Cream was perfect for adding a full bodied IC. WF VCE added the extra creaminess and a pleasant vanilla note.
CAP Super Sweet - originally I tested this mix without it. The mix was good, but........ I felt it was lacking something. When I added CAP SS it brought the orange profile to life. It made the orange "POP". IOW, it improved the mix 100%. It didn't really make the mix much sweeter than it was (well, maybe a wee bit, LOL).
It is a very tasty orange creamsicle mix!!!
Why creamsicle versus dreamsicle?
"Creamsicles are made with a layer of ice cream that's surrounded by a delicious coating of orange sherbert. Dreamsicles, on the other hand, have the same tasty outer layer but are filled with ice milk instead of ice cream."
Note: As of today, both Bull City Flavors (USA) and Nom Nomz (UK) stock the flavors used in this mix.
