I just used this recipe/method. I used EverClear grain alcohol instead of vodka half and half with water, wanting to avoid vodka flavoring. It worked great. I think the claim of the alcohol cooking off is doubtful. We are not alcohol drinkers here, but I think the amount of accessible alcohol is negligible anyway, cooking off or not. Serious studies have disproved the vague claim of alcohol cooking off. Obviously when the alcohol blends into compounds, it does not necessarily cook off separately. The science is complicated. The amount of alcohol is too small to be significant is one serving; but leave us not reference unproved alcohol tales. I love KAF!
