Tincture time!

Would love to get some feedback on what alcohol people use. I have always used vodka and never thought to use anything else. Following a recipe and it calls for brandy...anyone like brandy better? or is it just for a better taste...alcohol % is all that really matters i know, but just curious.

also anyone tried organic grape alcohol?

thanks

Hi Bianca,

I've used bacardi 151 and everclear for alcohol based tinctures; I've used pure organic coconut oil as well. I've heard good things about vegetable glycerin as well, but it depends on what you're trying to achieve. If it's what I think, my favorite method remains the alcohol based tinctures.
