Flavor Profile
Brewch Soursop opens with a unique, aromatic tropical character that defies easy comparison -- the German tasting panel described it as 'creamy apple-like custard aroma with an undefinable tropical fruit note (banana/pineapple?),' which captures the mysterious depth of this Caribbean and Latin American fruit. The first impression is creamy and exotic: apple-like custard meets tropical punch in a profile unlike any mainstream fruit extract.
The mid-palate is rich and rounded, delivering the distinctive creamy body of the guanabana fruit with hints of pineapple, banana, and a subtle melon sweetness that layers through the profile. The finish is clean and slightly tart, with a lingering tropical complexity that invites another sip.
Assertive, high-potency intensity. Start at 2-3 drops per 100ml -- even a few drops deliver a strong exotic essence. Natural and highly distinctive.
Bar Mixology
Brewch Soursop delivers the distinctive creamy tropical character of guanabana to craft cocktail and mocktail applications, offering mixologists a rare fruit profile that stands apart from standard tropical offerings. Vodka provides a clean canvas that lets the exotic soursop character lead, while white rum creates natural tropical synergy at 4-5 drops per serving. Tequila blanco works well in a soursop margarita where the agave backbone complements the creamy custard fruit character.
For mocktails, pair with a lime soda base for an elegant, refreshing zero-proof drink that reads as sophisticated and exotic. The creamy profile also works well in frozen applications -- a soursop blended mocktail with lime and sparkling water is both crowd-pleasing and distinctive.
- Rum tropical cocktail: 4-5 drops -- build into the shaker
- Tequila soursop margarita: 3-4 drops -- shake with ice
- Vodka fruit cocktail: 4 drops on a clean base
- Lime soda mocktail: 3 drops per serving -- refreshing and elegant
High-potency concentrate -- always start at 3 drops and taste before adding more.
Sparkling Water and Seltzer
Brewch Soursop is a high-potency concentrate in sparkling applications -- begin at just 2-3 drops per 100ml and taste before increasing. Even at low doses, it delivers a vivid, creamy tropical character that transforms plain sparkling water into a sophisticated exotic seltzer. Add flavoring after carbonation and swirl gently to preserve effervescence.
For the Soursop Lime Seltzer, pair 3 drops of Soursop with 1 drop of Lime Wedge added last -- directly to the finished glass -- to preserve the volatile lime aroma. The lime brightens and lifts the creamy tropical profile, adding a refreshing citrus edge that makes the combination more approachable. Maximum 4 drops total per 100ml for this high-potency flavor in sparkling applications.
- Subtle accent: 2-3 drops per 100ml -- start here; high-potency flavor
- Full profile: 3-4 drops per 100ml maximum for sparkling applications
- Soursop Lime Seltzer: 3 drops Soursop plus 1 drop Lime Wedge per 8 oz -- add lime last
- Hard seltzer batch: 6-8 drops per liter -- add post-fermentation
- Smoothies and shakes: 4-6 drops per 8 oz blended with tropical fruit
Sugar-free, keto-friendly, and clean-label. A distinctive choice for exotic-fruit seltzer programs.
Homebrew Applications
Brewch Soursop adds a distinctively exotic, creamy tropical character to light and citrus-forward homebrew styles. Add post-fermentation to preserve the delicate custard fruit aromatics that would otherwise be driven off during active fermentation. For a 5-gallon batch, start with 30-40 drops -- use conservatively as this is a high-potency concentrate, and taste before packaging.
It excels as a post-fermentation accent in hoppy IPAs and pale ales where tropical hop varieties create natural synergy with the creamy soursop character. Light lagers and wheat beers also benefit from the exotic fruit top note. For kombucha secondary fermentation (2F), add 15-20 drops per gallon for a rare tropical character that is highly distinctive in the kombucha category.
- IPA or tropical pale ale: 30-40 drops per 5-gallon batch -- start conservatively
- Light lager or wheat beer: 25-35 drops per 5-gallon batch
- Kombucha 2F: 12-18 drops per gallon -- probiotic-safe; use conservatively
- Hard cider: 25-35 drops per 5-gallon batch
- Hard seltzer: 20-30 drops per 5 gallons
Always add post-fermentation. The water-soluble formula disperses evenly without additional processing.
