ALCOHOL-SUBSTITUTION CONVERSION CHART
The use of an alcohol-substitution chart in the kitchen can be a lifesaver when a recipe calls for a certain alcoholic beverage. Some people simply don't have alcohol in the house. Or, simply don't have any liqueur at all, except for a few favorites. We probably wouldn't go out and purchase a specific liqueur just to make one recipe that calls for a single spoonful. Also there are those people with children and just don't want alcohol in their recipes at all. Whatever the case may be, this handy alcohol-substitution chart can be used to replace the many wonderful tastes of liqueur with simple ingredients you probably already have. You don't necessarily need to pass on a great recipe. Juice can certainly be used to make a recipe non-alcoholic and taste just as good. Keep the chart handy, and check it first!
