Uses
Everclear, as well as other brands of neutral grain spirit, is typically added to a variety of other drinks, such as soft drinks, energy drinks, fruit juice, and iced tea. It is sometimes added to cocktails in place of vodka or rum and is used in Jell-O shots. It is also used to make homemade liqueurs, such as limoncello, and in cooking because its high concentration of alcohol acts as a solvent to extract flavors.
190-proof Everclear is in regular use among fine woodworkers and luthiers as the preferred shellac solvent in French polish finishing.
Everclear can be used as an antiseptic, as a fuel in camping stoves, and as a cleaner for the restoration of smoking pipes.
Everclear 190 is considered an excellent, odor-free grade of ethanol for use in fine perfumery or tincturing. Manufactured to be of beverage grade, it is not denatured, i.e. it contains no chemical additives to render it undrinkable.
