I love cooking with different spirits, but a lot of people don't so here is a substitution list for those that don't want to use alcohol in recipes.

Ingredients

  • - amaretto: almond extract. as almond extract has a much stronger flavor, only use about ¼ of the amount of amaretto called for.
  • - bourbon: a teaspoon or two of non-alcoholic vanilla extract
  • - brandy: water is a common substitution but, depending on the recipe, cherry syrup (from canned cherries), white grape juice, and apple juice can be used.
  • - champagne: any sparkling fruit juice will do here, such as apple, grape or cranberry juices. ginger ale also works well
  • - coffee liqueur: espresso is a great substitution
  • - cognac: pear, peach, or apricot juice works well
  • - crème de menthe: to substitute for crème de menthe, spearmint extract is a good choice, or spearmint oil, which should be diluted with a small amount of water.
  • - peach brandy: use the syrup from canned peaches. make sure peaches are canned in heavy syrup. peach preserves can also be used
  • - port wine: grape juice,
  • - red wine: cranberry juice, grape juice, tomato juice, even beef or vegetable broth.
  • - rum: vanilla extract
  • - sherry: apple, pineapple, and orange juices
