Soda Mixes - Hookah Molasses Recipe and Mixture Guide

Many of you probably already know that mixing different hookah molasses flavors can be quite interesting. You add a few flavors together that you think might taste good, and you've invented a whole new flavor to smoke. Well before you can start mixing your flavors, it is very important that you get a good understanding of how that each flavor you are mixing tastes, and how potent the flavor is. For example, Orange hookah molasses has an extremely potent flavor. So if you plan on using Orange to make a mix with, you will most likely always use a lesser amount, then the other flavor so that the mixture does not have an overpowering Orange flavor. I will share with you 10 of my very own favorite recipes, and give you as directions as to how to make the mixtures.
Soda Mixes
Flavors Needed Cola, CherryServings 1 Part Cola, 1 Part CherryDirections This is going to taste like Cherry soda. Put the Cola in the bowl first, followed by the Cherry. Exactly like a cherry soda.
Flavors Needed Cola, GrapeServings 1 Part Cola, 2 Parts GrapeDirections This will obviously taste like Grape Soda now. Place 1 Part Grape in first, followed by 1 Part Cola, and finally topped with 1 Part Grape.
Flavors Needed Cola, MandarinServings 1 Parts Cola, 2 Part MandarinDirections I attempted to make an orange soda tasting flavor, but had trouble with it by using Orange and Cola together. So I tried using Mandarin and less Cola and got it to finally work! You want to start by putting in the Cola first, followed by the Mandarin on top.
Tips in making your own mixes
-Understand the potency and taste of each flavor you are trying to play with before mixing it with other flavors.-Use Mintin as many mixtures as you can, but always remember to put in just a small amount on the bottom.-Let your molasses acclimate before smoking, so that you get the full flavor out of your mixture.-Always make sure your stem, bowl, and hose are clean. They can be simply cleaned by running water through them. It is regemended to use a cleaning brush to clean the stem. If the hose is not a Mya hose, then make sure it can handle being washed, prior to running water through it. Dirty hoses and stems can greatly change the taste of a mixture.-Learn to manage your heat wisely to get the best out of your hookah.-More tips can be found in my other guide about optimizing your hookah to make thick clouds of smoke.-Most importantly, dont forget to have fun and not forget that a lot of it is trial and error.
