alcohol or denatured ethyl alcohol, at the local drug store. They both smell

horrible.

FWIW, IPA, or iso propyl alc is not denatured it may contain other items (ie:

water). It is by itself a denaturant. It has a very strong distinctive AWFUL

odor.

EthOH, unless specified odorless (US formula SDA39C or SDA40 et al with lower

case letters) may in fact be denatured with IPA among other denaturants. Check

your friendly gov site for official formulas to be used in denaturing Alcohol.

Everclear was meant to be used as a food additive when preserving cherries,

peaches, etc. A co solubilizer to food/botanicals. (eg vanilla beans, orange

peel, lemon peel). Or even for a flambee. I use rum and sugar plus secret

ingredient to create a crepe sauce. Everclear could be use instead of rum so as

no to taint your recipe.

I agree, but my comment was for artistic license. Do not forget the Cointreau.

Actually, I like Meyer's, also for hot toddy's.

30ml in a mug of H20, sugar, lemon juice if you wish, 1 325mg Bayer's aspirin,

then off to bed. 'Morning you are cured!
