Claims22
An anhydrous flavor delivery composition for a beverage comprising:
- from about 1% to about 40% of a water insoluble component by total weight of the anhydrous flavor delivery composition;
- from about 10% to about 40% of a surfactant by total weight of the anhydrous flavor delivery composition;
- from about 55% to about 85% of an alcohol by total weight of the anhydrous flavor delivery composition;
- and
- wherein the alcohol:surfactant ratio is from about 1.375:1 to about 8.5:1.

A method of making an anhydrous flavor delivery composition, the method comprising:
- providing a water insoluble component in an amount from about 1% to about 40% by total weight of the anhydrous flavor delivery composition;
- providing a surfactant in an amount from about 10% to about 40% by total weight of the anhydrous flavor delivery composition;
- mixing the water insoluble component with the surfactant to form a mixture;
- and
- adding to the mixture from about 55% to about 85% by total weight of the anhydrous flavor delivery composition of an alcohol to form a non-aqueous mixture;
- wherein the alcohol:surfactant ratio is from about 1.375:1 to about 8.5:1.
