Everclear

Everclear (pronounced: /ˈɛvərklɪər/) is a brand of grain alcohol that is known for its high alcohol content. It is produced by the Luxco company, which is based in the United States.

Etymology

The term "Everclear" is derived from the English words "ever" and "clear", suggesting the product's purity and potency. The brand name was first used in 1950.

Description

Everclear is a colorless, odorless, and flavorless beverage. It is available in two strengths: 190 proof (95% alcohol by volume) and 151 proof (75.5% alcohol by volume). Due to its high alcohol content, Everclear is often used as a base for homemade liqueurs and infusions, and in some recipes for cocktails and mixed drinks.

Health Effects

Consuming Everclear in large quantities can lead to alcohol poisoning and other serious health problems. It is recommended to consume it in moderation and to avoid drinking it straight due to its high alcohol content.

Legal Status

The sale of Everclear is regulated by law in many jurisdictions due to its high alcohol content. In some U.S. states, the sale of the 190-proof version is prohibited.
