POPY TRADE Shake & Enjoy Blueberry Menthol Aroma

Blueberry Menthol Aroma: Flavour Profile & Properties

The Blueberry Menthol Aroma smells of ripe, slightly earthy blueberry with a typical berry depth. Straight after, the menthol freshness opens up — cool, not overpowering, it lifts the fruitiness instead of masking it. On the palate the sweetness stays subtle (level "Subtle Sweetness"), while the menthol note delivers a pleasantly tingling fresh feeling. It pairs well with vanilla, citrus fruits, coconut as well as raspberry and strawberry. Quick Facts:

Mixing & Dosage the Shake & Enjoy Way

Dosage sparingly, stir or knead into the desired base and, if needed, intensify drop by drop. The Shake & Enjoy principle is simple: add the aroma to the base, shake, done — for your own flavour blends with VG or PG as the carrier. Guideline for drinks: 2-4 drops per 250 ml of sparkling water or lemonade, 3-5 drops per portion in yoghurt or quark, and in baking batter add it just before the end of the preparation time. Shake the bottle gently before each use. If you want to calculate the dosage exactly, the Flavour Calculator for Food and Drinks will help.

Uses: from Shakes to Cocktails

One aroma, many frontiers: in shakes and smoothies the blueberry brings the body, the menthol the lingering finish. In quark, skyr or yoghurt the blend becomes a quick fresh-dessert option. Baking, desserts & pudding, ice cream — that's where the combination really comes through in the cold. Coffee & hot drinks, soda streams & sparkling water makers and cocktails & mocktails are classic uses too. If you compose your own flavours, pair the Blueberry Menthol with fitting taste partners — a great start is the POPY TRADE Forest Berries Mix Aroma or our popular Blueberry Muffin Aroma if you'd rather head in a baking direction.

Who the Blueberry Menthol Aroma is For

Suitable for anyone who wants great taste without sugar and calories — from smoothie fans to DIY bakers. The dosing bottle allows precise drop-by-drop control: 4-6 drops per 100g, no stirring with a spoon, no spills. Vegan, gluten-free, no artificial colourings, calorie- and sugar-free (0 kcal) — anyone cutting out sugar finds a tasty alternative here. Heat- and bake-stable means: the note survives the oven if you time it right. The blend also works if you want to make your drinks fresher without sweeteners — the subtle sweetness in the aroma takes care of that. If you prefer fruitier over cool, switch to the Shake & Enjoy Spearmint Gum Aroma.

Practical Check: How the Blueberry Menthol Aroma Works

Here's how it works: 4-6 drops of Blueberry Menthol Aroma into a glass with 100 ml of cold sparkling water, stir. Done — berry sweetness up front, menthol freshness on the finish, no added sugar. In carbonated drinks the menthol note can come across a bit stronger, so dose carefully and taste as you go. If you like it stronger, add more drops and stir again. For desserts or ice cream use the same amount per portion — in the cold the menthol freshness comes through especially clearly. Shake the bottle before each use and the consistency will be right. Practical tip: mix the base first, then taste and sharpen it drop by drop — not the other way around. The lower end is almost always the better start.
