Substitutions for alcohol:

What if you and/or your doctor decides that you should not cook with alcohol what substitutions can you make in our recipes and that of others which call for wine, beer, etc.

In savory dishes for each cup (240 ml) of wine in the recipe, substitute 7/8-cup (210 ml) of fat-free low-sodium chicken, beef, vegetable broth, apple juice, whit grape juice, or tomato juice, with 2-tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice or vinegar.

In desserts, substitute fruit juice for the wine, adding a dash of balsamic vinegar to the juice.

For orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier, use an equivalent amount of frozen orange juice concentrate plus some grated orange zest.

For coffee liqueur, use double-strength espresso or instant coffee made with
4 to 6 times the amount of coffee normally used.

For brandy or rum, try a small amount of brandy or rum extract, or pure vanilla extract.
