Lemon Extract

I keep seeing green dragon recipes using lemon extract. Im getting mixed answers. Can some one definatively tell me yes or no they work?

**..if im guessing, the secret ingredient might be citric acid... then again im high,... byyeee ..

--lol

from what I recall .. lemon is used as a flavor agent and in place of vodka/alcohol.. lemon extract has 40% in it.. I would assume your speaking of the flavor portion?

have yet to have a GD mix work.. have never had the ones they say to sit for 60 days.. so..

conventional lemon extract is lemon oil extracted via some sort of food-safe solvent (usually a propylene glycol/alcohol combination).
the ingredients on the clubhouse brand pure lemon extract is: propylene glycol, alcohol, water, lemon oil, colour.

i've never used lemon extract myself but safe to assume it would work as well as any glycerine tincture. (which i have done and is fantastic.)

although it would probably be cheaper just to source some propylene glycol and save the lemon extract for aromatising.

hope this helps.

Thanks guys is there anyone that can say yes or no
