Making own Cooking Extracts
Using to cook and make extracts with, vanilla, lemon, maple, orange, etc. What I like is you can put different amount of cooking alcohol in DIY extracts to give different tastes. 100%, 80%, 70%, 50% alcohol mixture of extracts.

Excellent all around
I was looking for the purest organic product available for making my herbal tinctures. This is it. Customer service was also very personal and prompt. I’ve purchased several bottles twice now, and highly recommend it. Thank you.

Flawless experience
I buy the organic ethanol by the gallon. I’ve ordered several times now, and each time the order was promptly shipped and arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. The product quality is excellent and so I couldn’t recommend Culinary Solvent more.

Great for herbal tinctures
Easy to order, seamless delivery, clear tracking (important as it had to be signed for, at least in California). Great quality.

Will be purchasing more in the future. Worked really well on a recent shellac refinishing project. The shipment even arrived a couple days earlier than promised...a nice surprise.

Great experience so far
I’ve been looking for food grade high proof alcohol for my tinctures and perfume crafting. I have not been able to find anything over 151 proof where I live. After multiple searches and researching, I came across Culinary Solvent. I decided to give it a try. The ordering process was easy, they were communicating with me throughout the process, informing me of the delivery date, as a signature was required and I received my order in a reasonable time. It was packaged well and secure. I have no complaints. I have not used the alcohol yet so I cannot comment on the performance. So far, everything has been a positive experience. I look forward to many tincturing and perfuming projects. Thank you!!!

200 Proof Alcohol: This means the alcohol is as close to pure ethanol as possible. By definition, 200 proof alcohol is 100% alcohol by volume. However, due to limitations in the distillation process, even the purest alcohol contains a minute amount of water. The TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) allows for a slight variance, so 200 proof alcohol typically contains at least 99.7% alcohol by volume (ABV).
190 Proof Alcohol: This refers to an alcohol solution that contains 95% ethyl alcohol and 5% water. "190 proof" means it is 95% ABV, meaning 95% of the solution is pure ethanol, while the remaining 5% is water and other trace components.
