David584 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Good morningI don't know about getting 95% pure alcohol, but recipes that I have found on these sites: http://beverage.allrecipes.com/AZ/Limncll.asphttp://whatscookingamerica.net/Beverage/Limoncello.htm http://www.ivillage.co.uk/food/tools/recipefinder/display_recipe/0,,5879,00.htmlall use vodka as the alcohol base.Would that be an acceptable substitute?David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Ask at the pharmacie and explain it's for making a drink (so it won't have camphour in it) that's what my friend does. Any chance of having the recipe I love limoncello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantouflard Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I seem to remember seeing 'Polish Spirit' on sale in a french supermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weedon Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 [quote]Around here (85) every April/May a local sets a still up and off we go with our containers![/quote]My farmer neighbour is the local man for taking your apples,pears,plums and probably anything else you fancy turning into a drink. He,s got a contraption that looks like a cross between Stephensons Rocket and a steam engine, with which he gets his alcohol out of.For the past 2 years I have had one old chap who comes to take away my apples and in return I get a dozen bottles of cider. Another old chap takes the pears the downside is he insists I have a bottle of what he calls Poire William. I swear that it must be 95% if its not it must be pretty near. I've only tried one swig and it nearly burnt a hole through the roof of my mouth. I've now got 2 bottles of the stuff and its about this time of the year when he's due to take away the pears and I will then have 3 bottles!!!!Anyone suggest a use for it? I've thought about using it to clean paint off my hands but I am a bit worried that it might take skin off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
