Water is a solvent, but most organic chemists don’t refer to it as such. I should’ve clarified for non-chemists that I meant “organic solvent.” Like ethanol, even diluted.
I finally finished the bottle of vodka a friend gave us. It has been sitting in my freezer for close to 15 years! Vodka makes great pie crusts, so every Thanksgiving I used a little for a pie. That said, I would not mind a glass of good Zinfandel or Chardonnay.
