I started using Everclear as a kitchen disinfectant when Covid started. It's 190 proof, kills germs, and it's non-toxic (in small amounts) so you can use it on food surfaces like cutting boards. A big bottle is surprisingly affordable in the US and after 2 years I still have half a bottle left.

Downsides: It's flammable and you wouldn't want it accessible with kids around.



> It’s 190 proof

Everclear is 151 in states where it’s not legal to sell spirits of higher proof than that (for example, California).

I discovered this little disappointment while attempting a limoncello recipe that called for real Everclear and all I could legally buy was the 151 proof version.
