Conradical Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 After my trip to Peru in January, I brought back one of the best sweet liquors I have ever tried: Pisco. It is a distilled sweet wine that is pretty potent at 80 proof. It definitely brought out the flavor with sweeter tasting shisha's like Vanilla or Mango. Has anyone else tried other flavors? I am sure the flavored vodkas with their diversity of flavors could make a great addition to your indulgence of the smoke vice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khyperian Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I have enjoyed ABSOLUTE Raspberry Vodka with Banana Tobacco. ABSOLUTE Orange is pretty good too. The ABSOLUTE flavoured vodkas work so well, the flavour comes accross perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I've used some wine/water mix before with grape shisha and it was ok, but I prefer just using water and having a drink along side to complement the smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conradical Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Mushrat can definitely vouch for me creativity last night: I was wanting to smoke Rose/Jasmin or Dos Flores... then started thinking... what if you added Tanqueray to the base and made Tres Flores?

Mark42300 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I used Cherry Vodka with Cherry Shisha, It made me sick. A couple months later I tried Tequila and it made me sick as well. Not a big fan at this point lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noodle Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Alcohol in the base isn't terribly smart. It'll get you drunk very quickly -- too quickly for the body to compensate. This is why you wear an oxygen mask when cleaning out an alcohol tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Sometimes I put a shot of bourbon in the base with Pipe and coffee flavors. Sometimes rum with fruity stuff. It's pretty nice once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salten Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I loose my voice,for like a week, when smokin with alcohol in the base....So it is safe for me to say that im not a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cp44 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I got a bottle of dominican liquor, Mamajuana, its the Dominican Viagra haha. Its mixed with all kinds of roots, gingseng, Bragul Rum, Red Wine and honey, it should go great with my hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendetta_revived Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I've never used liquor, but sometimes I just fill the base with beer and load up the bowl with AF mint. Duberg is my fav beer at this time and it gives a strong flavour and coupled with mint, it becomes a chilled beer smoke! <3 Beer <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Dandpatta Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 First Post. Alcohol in the base is definitely not the best idea (from experience ;P). Been to Peru before (twice) and had Pisco..definitely a tasty spirit! My addition to this thread is to add mint water to the base, ice cubes...and a (high fruit content) drink. My choice was mixed berry juice (almarai). Back in the Middle East I had a hookah mixture (approx 10kilos) that when smoked....you were definitely sideways. I just began my quest to re-create this in the states. Wish me luck. BTW, an ice cold drink is the best thing to accompany a smoking session (IMO). Base liquid accents the flavor of the tobacco. The accompanying drink should contrast. ...honestly, I really wish to see how its done in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarePolice Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I normally only use cheap alcohols in the base and in hookahs I don't care about, but mike's hard lemonade is great with strawberry or some mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satyr Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm not that fond of putting anything else but water in the base (especially not milk, like a lot of people seem to do). I know it's just me, but I like to enjoy the pure taste of the shisha. I think that other things in the base ruins the taste a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheik_steampunk Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've tried Vodka-based sheeshas quite a few times. The first time we tried was at home, and we kinda failed with the ratio.. and I was left with green apple tasting burps. It was NOT comfortable. But we've made progress since that, and I've come to notice that fruit flavors with a tinge of mint on a vodka base are very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
