Perfect solution for shellac. I had been using denatured alcohol but didn't like using the toxic methyl alcohol for my French polish mixture. This pure ethanol works perfectly and because it is food grade I can use it without worry. The shellac flakes dissolve completely and I have a crystal clear solution to apply on my instruments.
I was THRILLED to find this organic ethyl alcohol in a glass jar (not plastic). I use the ethyl alcohol as I have read research saying ethyl is much more suited to our biology than isopropyl. I tried to buy ethyl ad the "drug store" but it had acetone and other things in it ugh! so I searched duckduckgo and found this company, so lucky! I make my own "hand sanitizer" with this and lavendar essential oil, organic as well. Thank you!!!
Very happy with the Quality of this 200 Proof Food Grade Ethanol. Living in California it is impossible to find a product that works for Herbal Tinctures in stores. After a little internet business research I found that CULINARY SOLVENT had the best reviews and there prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be making more purchases in the near future.
Ordering was easy and the product arrived as advertised.
Quality product, fair price.

You folks do a great job , from your alcohol to your service. You have my business for life.
Well packaged for shipment. Great for making spirit varnish with shellac.
Amazing and fast response! Got what i needed same day! Excellent customer service! Very knowledgeable!
Time from Order to home was great, and Product too, I'll order again from this Company.
Excellent products!!! I mainly use this ethanol to graft and make remedies with, as a preservative. I am so grateful to have stumbled across this company! I love that they offer many y different sizes & options (organic; proof, etc). I only wish that the quarts had the option of a glass bottle, as I am not sure of what the shelf life is in the plastic. I could not find this information anywhere on the the website. I do love that the website is very informative as far as the the difference between the products, how they are made, and suggested uses, etc.! I always purchase the Organic 200 Proof Food Grade, and it is perfect for preserving my homeopathic remedies & tinctures. I have also used it in cooking, and ot really enhances the flavor!!! This ethanol is an amazing product, and of superior quality! Thank you so much, Scott & your team!!!
So far so good made some canna sugar and it appears the alcohol did its job.
Next on the agenda is to make FECO but I’m waiting on my machine I ordered from Extract Craft to help reclaim the alcohol.
Used 1/2 & 1/2 with dewaxed shellac to prep new Cherry table top for danish varnish. Needed pure alcohol to evaporate completely. This stuff is the best
Wow! Fast ship and they kept tracking the order through delivery! I’d give the six stars!
I repair violins and needed strong ethanol to desolve my shelac. Well this is the stuff to use. Works great!
Excellent product, seems to be potency advertised. Packaged well, minimally but effective. Shipped fast and had several updates throughout transit.
Customer service is fantastic! Looking forward to creating...
Kind of pricey, but packing and timelines was spot on! Using it to dilute shellac and denatured alcohol is not for sale here in ca.
The site guided me appropriately through the other process and it was delivered very quickly.
E-Z to purchase and could ship to me in California. Thanks to Emily Kyle for the referral. Shipping seemed a little higher than I would like but I’m sure shipping 200 proof alcohol across the country isn’t cheap. I’m just glad you could.
Maybe come down on the Price a bit? Regardless I was very pleased with your Product?Service, the package you sent arrived in a timely manner and the product seems to be top notch.. I will continues to come here. Thanks , @PapaNachoVerse. On X.Com and YouTube.Com
Fast shipping, great communication, nice packaging.
Seriously, buy with confidence. Culinary Solvent is top tier. These lovely folks are 100% transparent on their website concerning their wonderful ethanol, and their most excellent 200 proof non-denatured ethanol alcohol is the best that you could possibly get. I purchased some to convert a pricey Indian attar into a 50% concentrate pure perfume spray. At the very least the results have far exceeded my expectations because the perfume couldn’t have turned out any better. Thanks so much Scott, you’ve earned a lifelong customer.
Awesome product and quick turnaround from ordering to delivering
Shopping is a breeze and shipping is very prompt!!
What I really loved was not only are you buying a product but you can go to their website and learn so much. I feel like education on all of this is so important for everyone’s health and safety and I love that they take the time to highlight that! I feel so confident using their products for my tinctures!
Culinary Solvent is a "First Class" company! Their website is easy to navigate and they respond to your order almost instantly.
The quality of Culinary Solvent's product is exceptional! I use it to make a tincture for my chronic pain.
There is no need to look any further if you are in need of high quality, food grade product.
Fast shipping, well packaged, I loved that it included a list of the bottles that were included, and checked off, so I know that I got the product I ordered and I can verify that the bottles I got were the ones that were packed!
The delivery was great. The product was just what we were looking for and we hope to order a larger quantity form you next time.

Both Everclear and Culianry Solvent are pure ethyl alcohol products, but the similarities end there. View our breakdown to understand the benefits to choosing pure 200 proof food grade ethanol for herbal tinctures.
Most people believe 200 proof is impossible to produce without dangerous chemicals, or that it will return to 190 proof immediately. Not true. Learn more about 200 proof alcohol for tinctures.
So hard to find 190 let alone 200 proof. So grateful for ya.
The uses are endless. Always take a flask full on camping trips to dilute into a night cap, or an Irish coffee if it's that kind of camping trip, disinfect utensils, and wounds, back up fuel for the alcohol stove, removing tree sap, hand sanitizer... Etc
