Well, it's certainly possible that no one here has tried to buy EverClear so they don't have the answer. I posted I have purchased 180 proof but
don't remember the name.

Does it have to be everclear or will a specific proof do the job? As I don't use it, I honestly don't know your answer. I do know many recipes are
however brand specific for the ingredients. Whatever you are making I want to try it!!

no, i don't think it has to be a specific brand...it's just that it has to have high alcohol content, and i have not heard of any other brands. i'd
be happy to know of of any...however, i think it will have to be vodka. i'm wondering if that cana that dennis mentioned will work. i will ask in
my aromatherapy group.
i'll bring u a sample of my blend as soon as i get the right alcohol.

It is sold in AZ. We make Lemoncello with it. We have purchased Moon Shine on the Mainland for the same use and is the same thing.

Well, if high test is what you're after, this stuff will work for you. It's straight alcohol...the first cut on the way to being rum. Grocery
stores have it, drug stores and some liquor stores too.
Don't drink it. It's one of the two things in life that will make you go blind.

Everclear was the cheapest way to have a party in college.
1 washtub or trash can
1 fifth of everclear
lot's of ice
any fruit juice or mix you can get
fruit slices optional
anything else you have (booze)

In the stores, it would be on the shelf with the bandaids etc. In the past, it was the only medicinal alcohol available. Now you can find wood
alcohol, probably imported. Just ask the pharmacy attendant at the larger stores or ask at a well stocked liquor store.
Good question about taking it across, Diana. Since it's medicinal, I can't imagine the restrictions being the same as tequila. Like I mentioned,
Mexico certainly doesn't consider it liquor. That's why one can buy it on election day or before 10AM on any day.
Maybe David Medicine Man will see this thread and give us all the straight scoop.

In the 90 percentile. Not proof....percent, like Everclear. Caña and Everclear are basically the same thing except one is made from sugar cane and
the other from corn. [I think it's corn]

Used by the poster in a subtle attempt at humor.

Dennis,
thank u for your helpful, clear and informed responses to the question that i originally asked and which got lost among the sarcastic other replies.
why is it that i cannot get this kind of reply when i ask a simple question? i can see why some people leave this forum, afraid that they will be
intimidated and ridiculed.

OK...Diana. You're welcome.
Nomad is a rough world at times, for sure but, that's a big part of the charm. Ya just gotta read around whatever doesn't directly address your
question and eventually you'll find the info you're looking for.

Once upon a time, a long, long way back, the oil companies sold a gasoline with higher octane than was previously available. People old enough to have
been around then referred to it as high test. Today it is simply referred to as premium.
And one must have a reasonable sense of humor to play here, lest they either get offended or just don't get it. There actually are (almost) no mean
spirited people here.

I'm sorry I have no answers to the original question, but ...
In Jamaica "cane juce" is usually kept under the bar in an old plastic gallon water bottle. If you ask for it they give you a shotglass of the stuff
and a 16 oz glass of water. You need the water 
And be careful with that "apple pie" drink. No lie, a young friend of mine just recently served that to girl not knowing she was a "lightweight".
Now he is fighting date rape accusations. No joke. 
low lattitude attitude

Alcohol, Puro de Cana Michoacano

The label is also marked on the upper right hand, " 96" with a small high circle, then "G.L."
Down at the bottom, there is a warning, "NO DEBE BEBERSE"
Is this what Dennis is talking about?
