Description

Everclear Alcohol is a high-purity, high-proof ethyl alcohol, commonly used in the preparation of homemade liqueurs, flavor extracts, and some recipes that require a preservative or flavor enhancer. This alcohol is typically distilled to a very high proof, reaching up to 95% concentration, making it much stronger than conventional commercial wines or liqueurs.

Originating in the United States, Everclear is especially popular in regions where the sale of high-proof alcohol is permitted and is used in both the food industry and the artisanal production of beverages and essences.

Among its properties, its ability to effectively dissolve flavors and extracts from plants and fruits stands out, making it an ideal ingredient for homemade tinctures and essences. Furthermore, its high alcohol concentration helps preserve ingredients and extend the shelf life of mixed liquids.

In a culinary context, it should be used with caution and in appropriate quantities due to its potency and potential toxicity if consumed in excess.

Synonyms in different Spanish-speaking regions of Latin America may include: pure ethyl alcohol, rectified alcohol, or simply food-grade alcohol. However, the term "Everclear" is often used directly to refer to this specific brand due to its recognition and quality.
