(16,908 posts)Want to make a cannabis tincture? Or some limoncello? Maybe vanilla extract?
Everclear (190 proof grain alcohol) is the go to solvent.
Dont drink it, even as a mixer, unless you get the abv down to a safe level.

(67,588 posts)Everclear, Hawaiian Punch, sliced citrus fruit, and whatever other booze we could scrounge. Too strong for weekend revelry; we saved the jungle juice for holidays and times of special celebration. Like the end of a month-long field exercise.

(68,359 posts)One can make an "electric lemonade" by adding 2 jiggers of Everclear to a can of frozen lemonade with the appropriate water. Makes 67 ounces, 3 of which are 95% alcohol. That brings the ABV down to about the sane as beer.
People used to do that when I was in college.

(9,816 posts)at our off campus apartment with guys from our old dorm, and young ladies from a womens dorm. We had a keg, and Id only had a couple of beers, and I was getting drunk. Believe me, it took more than two beers to get me drunk in those days.
Trying to discover what was going on, I went to the kitchen where the keg was, and discovered one of my roommates pouring Everclear into each pitcher that he drew! That was the party where the cops showed up. After I had turned off ever switch I could find on the receiver to kill the music, the cops looked around and said (I kid you not) Were not always on duty. Invite us next time.
BTW, that roommate is now mayor of a small town in northeast Iowa. I may hold his political future in my hands.

I like to watch people's reactions to songs that I love.
I like to watch people's reactions to seeing Larry Bird play for the first time.
I like to watch people's reactions to George Carlin.
It is fun watching people discover new things.

(51,120 posts)It's been a while but I THINK the formula was five gallons of water, enough Kool-Aid powder to get it up to strength, about twenty bucks worth of sliced fruit and one full bottle of Everclear.
Other than that, the only reason to have that shit in the house is if you are making something like vanilla extract.
This sounds just like what I posted above!
Ah, to be young and full of piss again!
You guys were a bit less refined than we were...it appears to me that you tankers just had everyone bring whatever booze you had in your room down to the dayroom and dump it in.
We tankers are a practical bunch. Whatever gets us on our way
