We’ve got a lot of new faces stepping into the DIY game lately, and I thought it’d be great to put together a thread just for them — something simple, helpful, and full of solid starting points.
What I’m asking:

Fruit, dessert, tobacco — doesn’t matter. As long as it’s:
Easy to mix
Uses accessible concentrates
It tastes great without a ton of steeping
Important: Only share what you’re comfortable putting out there — no pressure to reveal your top-secret stash or guarded bangers. Let’s keep this about supporting the next wave of mixers.
Whether it’s the first mix that made you proud or the one you always recommend to rookies, toss it in below. Let’s build something the herd can point to when someone says, “Where do I start?”
