everclear

Nearly pure ethanol

Everclear is a brand of grain alcohol, essentially pure ethanol, typically 190 proof (95% alcohol by volume).

It's colorless and nearly tasteless, used primarily as a base for homemade liqueurs, extracts, and notoriously strong punch.

The high alcohol content makes it dangerous to drink straight and illegal in several U.S. states: We made limoncello with Everclear.
