What Alcohol Do I Use For My Tincture?

For cannabis extractions, it is recommended to use 95% ethanol (FOOD GRADE) as the alcohol solvent. This high percentage of ethanol ensures efficient extraction of the desired compounds from the cannabis plant. When using spirits like 40% vodka or lower alcohol content beverages, the extraction process may not yield the desired results. To achieve the best outcome and maintain the quality and potency of your tincture, it is important to use high-grade ethanol specifically intended for food applications.
