16. Would anyone happen to know . . .

what is the European (Swiss, German, Italian or French, to be specific) equivalent of Everclear and/or grain alcohol? I ask this because I have a homemade liquer recipe which calls for Everclear, but none of the merchants here have ever heard of it. :shrug: (Please don't say grappa. Grapes are not a grain. :cry: )

18. With all the American vets who've stayed there...

you must have a moon shiner somewhere nearby. Ask around some, I'll bet someone is making it!

[Heidi]

21. I've asked!

Switzerland isn't really known for its amber waves of grain, and I really, really wanna make some homemade kahlua before winter. :cry:

Do you think vodka would be an appropriate subsitute?

Here's roughly the recipe that I've used in the past, but I brewed espresso rather than using "instant" coffee.

22. You could use vodka and use less water to bring up the alcohol...

content. A good vodka doesn't have a strong flavor anyway.

[BikeWriter]

23. Aha! I found you some alternate recipes using Vodka...

Kahlua

24. Thanks, darlin'! I lovelovelove

a kahlua and cream and a good book on a cold Swiss night! (I'm hoping to convert my brother-in-law from grappa to some more interesting drinks, too. :evilgrin: )

[BikeWriter]

26. Kahlua does make some tasty drinks...

It's about the only way I'll drink coffee anymore. I've used similar recipes before.

[Wapsie B]

20. I have no idea.

[ps1074]
