Flavor Profile
Brewch Cookie Dough opens with warm brown sugar sweetness layered over soft, buttery raw dough notes -- immediately familiar and indulgent. The first impression is dessert-forward: rich butter and vanilla meeting floury, unbaked dough in a profile that captures the irresistible character of raw cookie dough right from the bowl.
The mid-palate develops vanilla depth with a gently sweet, dough-like body that fills the palate without becoming heavy. A quiet brown sugar warmth ties the profile together. The finish is lightly sweet with a lingering butter note and clean close.
Medium-high intensity. Start at 3 drops per 100ml -- the rich dessert character is assertive in light sparkling bases. Authentic and natural, with the nostalgic character of real raw dough rather than an artificial candy interpretation. Pairs naturally with vanilla, caramel, espresso, and citrus brighteners.
Bar Mixology
Brewch Cookie Dough is purpose-built for dessert-style cocktails and sipping cream applications. The buttery dough profile pairs naturally with bourbon and Tennessee whiskey, where the caramel notes of the spirit echo the brown sugar sweetness of the concentrate. Build a cookie dough old fashioned at 4-5 drops, or shake into a cookie dough martini with vanilla vodka and cream.
For mocktails, the dough profile works beautifully with a lemon and sparkling base -- the citrus lifts the sweetness and prevents the profile from feeling heavy. A cookie dough lemonade spritzer at 3-4 drops per serving is a surprisingly refreshing zero-proof dessert drink.
- Cookie dough martini with vanilla vodka: 4-5 drops -- shake with cream base
- Bourbon old fashioned: 3-4 drops per serving -- stir in during build
- Lemon dessert mocktail: 3 drops plus a Lemonade accent for balance
- Simple syrup: 1 part Brewch to 50 parts syrup for latte and dessert bar use
The clean, natural profile integrates into dairy and cream bases without curdling or muddying the texture. Always start at 3 drops.
Sparkling Water and Seltzer
Brewch Cookie Dough creates a fun, unexpected sparkling water experience that is rich enough to feel like a treat without adding calories or sugar. Start at 3 drops per 100ml -- the buttery dough character is assertive and the sweetness amplifies with carbonation. Add after carbonation and swirl gently to preserve effervescence.
For the Cookie Dough Lemonade Seltzer, pair 3 drops of Cookie Dough with 1-2 drops of Lemonade. The lemon cuts through the richness of the dough profile, brightening the combination and creating a refreshing, dessert-inspired sparkling drink that is more approachable than cookie dough alone.
- Subtle accent: 3 drops per 100ml -- start here
- Full profile: 4-5 drops per 100ml for a bold dessert seltzer
- Cookie Dough Lemonade Seltzer: 3 drops Cookie Dough plus 1-2 drops Lemonade per 8 oz
- Hard seltzer batch: 8-10 drops per liter -- add post-fermentation
- Smoothies and protein shakes: 5-7 drops per 8 oz with vanilla or chocolate protein base
Sugar-free, keto-friendly, and clean-label -- ideal for consumers who want a dessert-inspired flavored water without the calories.
Homebrew Applications
Brewch Cookie Dough adds a nostalgic, bakery-warm character to cream and dessert-style homebrew applications. Add post-fermentation to protect the delicate butter, vanilla, and dough notes from being driven off during active fermentation. For a 5-gallon batch, start with 30-40 drops and taste before packaging.
It shines in milk stouts, sweet porters, and cream sodas where the dough profile harmonizes with lactose sweetness and roast character. Barrel-aged ales and dark lagers also benefit from the brown sugar warmth of cookie dough. Hard ciders take on an unexpected dessert dimension with 30-35 drops per batch.
- Milk stout or sweet porter: 35-45 drops per 5-gallon batch
- Cream soda or root beer homebrew: 30-40 drops per 5 gallons
- Barrel-aged ale or dark lager: 30-35 drops per 5-gallon batch
- Hard cider: 30-35 drops per 5-gallon batch
- Kombucha 2F: 10-15 drops per gallon -- use moderately; probiotic-safe
The water-soluble formula disperses evenly during racking without additional processing or clarification.
