[QUOTE="Brunello, post: 555907, member: 4458"] [SIZE=5]In my early years of foolhardy experimentation I tried everything from Guinness, Cassis, Barenjaeger (honey liquor), Sherry, Tawny Port, red wine, you name it. The Sherry didn't turn out bad because there isn't a lot of volatility in it, but most of the others created a really hot burn. I had decent luck baking off the alcohol in the oven but that's too much work for me and the wife didn't appreciate the "aroma."
