SHAKERS E-LIQUIDS COCKTAIL RANGE Words : Paul Johnson
Summer ’ s here and the sun ’ s out ( occasionally ), so it ’ s cocktail time ! Today ’ s cocktails are 50ml shortfills and so I won ’ t be adding any nic shots .
WHITE RUSSIAN
VG / PG - 70 / 30 I ’ m no stranger to this cocktail and know exactly what I should be getting . The first draw delivered a smooth , fresh and creamy taste , followed by a rich and deep coffee . The flavour was superb , with something else added in there to replicate the vodka , adding to the overall taste . Plus , the coffee lingers around the mouth for ages as with the drink . A really good representation and I ’ m sure coffee vape lovers will like it too - excellent start !
MOJITO
VG / PG - 70 / 30 Probably one of the most popular cocktails , either whilst on holiday or even at home . My first impression was that it ’ s a pleasant vape , with the white rum-like taste at the forefront , followed by a subtle lime and mint . I ’ m not getting the big , fresh mint and lime hit usually expected from a freshly-made mojito , with this juice leaning more towards a spearmint taste . This is a nice vape , smooth and refreshing , with all the flavours - great effort !
SUMMER PUNCH
VG / PG - 70 / 30 Everyone makes some sort of summer punch , so this can ’ t be judged as a replication . The first draw provided a sweet taste with a hint of fruit , which was quickly followed by mint and finished with , wait for it , cucumber ! This combination was a surprise , but gives this e-liquid a really refreshing taste -different but pleasant .
PEACH BELLINI
VG / PG - 70 / 30 Well this flavour was certainly peach … and loads of it ! The thick and sweet liquid was smooth and didn ’ t taste artificial . In fact , it was similar to fresh peach juice from a carton and even had a kind of fizzy aspect to it – really nice .
STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI
VG / PG - 70 / 30 I have to say , I ’ ve never actually had one of these cocktails before and after vaping this , I had to look up the ingredients . Typically , there would be a blend of frozen strawberry , white rum , soda and lime and lemon juice , but that ’ s not what I was getting at all ( if blindfolded , I would say it was strawberry laces ). I don ’ t know if my palate was overloaded from the other flavours , but I ’ m not sure if this one fits the brief , as all I got was an artificial strawberry taste . All in all , this range offered a good replication of some popular and famous cocktails apart from the last one - well worth a try .
MIMOSA
VG / PG - 70 / 30 On first vape I got orange – not fresh squeeze , more of a cordial – but then something else started to come through . The more I vaped I tasted a sour grape flavour , not front-and-centre , but in the finish . I liked it , it was different , very sweet , full of flavour and refreshing all at the same time , lingering in the mouth for ages – nice !
