200 Proof Food Grade Ethanol

200 proof (≥99.7% ABV), non-denatured food grade ethanol with no additives or bittering agents. Designed for tinctures, extracts, culinary applications, and professional use where solvent purity, neutrality, and control matter.

Used by herbalists, extract makers, culinary professionals, DIY formulators, and small labs who need maximum extraction efficiency and a clean, neutral starting solvent.

Common Uses and Applications

  • Herbal tinctures and botanical extracts.
  • Flavor extracts such as vanilla, coffee, citrus, and spices.
  • Culinary and confectionery applications.
  • Ingredient preparation and formulation.
  • Laboratory, educational, and small-batch production use.

Why Choose 200 Proof Food Grade Ethanol

  • Faster and more complete extraction of plant compounds.
  • No added water, allowing precise control over dilution.
  • Neutral aroma and flavor profile.
  • Greater consistency and repeatability across your batches.

Beginning with 200 proof allows you to dilute to any desired proof while maintaining full control over solvent composition.

Culinary Solvent is:

  • Not denatured, contains no toxic additives found in denatured alcohol.
  • Higher proof than "beverage-grade" alcohols, more flexibility than vodka or 190 proof spirits.
  • Contains no isopropyl nor methanol, appropriate for food and botanical use when used as intended.

If you currently rely on vodka or Everclear for tinctures or extracts, this product offers a cleaner, more versatile starting solvent.

Important Notes on Use and Handling.

This product is not intended as a recreational beverage. It is sold as a high-purity solvent for culinary, botanical, and professional applications. Due to its high proof, proper handling and storage are recommended. Always dilute appropriately for your application and follow applicable local regulations regarding storage, transport, and use.

    Everything arrived safely and undamaged

    Everything arrived safely and undamaged. I'm doing some limoncello experiments with lime and orange so they are in the considerably long extraction phase and won't be ready for finishing and tasting for some time but the clean smelling alcohol went right to work extracting color and scent from the citrus.

    Great for incense / perfumery

    Originally I bought this for making hand sanitizer, but I also like it way better than DPG for making incense or denatured alcohol for perfumery. The solvent is extremely effective and once evaporated leaves absolutely no odor, only the scent of the oils remain.

    Restoring smoking pipes

    When cleaning out the bowls and stems of reclaimed smoking pipes. Cuts through decades of use. And from one tobacco blend to another, there is no carry over. But you don't have to wait till your pipe is fifty years old. Soak the bowl a couple hours, and wipe out. All the rements of last tobacco be gone.

    Great Service & Superior 200 Proof Non-Denatured Ethanol!

    Culinary Solvent’s ethanol is top quality. Buy with confidence. I purchased a 120 ml glass bottle to convert a high quality attar into a 50% concentrate 30 ml pure perfume spray. The results couldn’t have been any better. And I know that this ethanol is pure because the aromatic compounds have already infused after only 1 week because the perfume is crystal clear with zero alcohol aroma once atomized and is already nuclear potent. This maturation process usually takes at a minimum 1 month. I am impressed.

    My only gripe albeit minor is that the cap for the glass ethanol bottle needs some kind of a rubber/soft plastic buffer to create a solid seal or else evaporation is inevitable. I had to fabricate a makeshift foil seal to insert into the cap to try and negate this process as much as possible. But nevertheless, this ethanol is the best that one can get, and Culinary Solvent’s services are on point. Shipping was very quick. I will definitely be repurchasing this wonderful ethanol in the future. I really appreciate your quality product, thanks so much Scott!

    200 Proof Food Grade Ethanol FAQs

    By law, 200 proof contains up to 0.3% water, while 190 proof has about 5% water in solution. Some recipes specifically call for 190 proof, or for further dilution to a certain proof where the math is easier starting with 100%.

    No. High proof alcohol does not expire or spoil, but proper storage is important. Keep the container tightly closed and store it in a cool, dry place away from heat
    and flame.
