Another Gather member posted these today. (WAHMS - Rebecca D. ). These are examples of some substitutions that can be very helpful for people trying to eliminate all forms of alchohol from their diet.
Amaretto - Almond extract (this needs to be the 'imitation' type of extract, with no alchohol listed as an ingredient, if you're trying to keep things halal)
Beer or ale - For light beers - chicken broth, ginger ale, or white grape juice. For heavier beers - use strong beef, chicken, or
mushroom stock. Or simply use non-alcoholic beer.
Brandy - (liquor made of distilled wine or fruitjuice) - If a particular flavor is called for, use the corresponding type of fruit juice. Corresponding flavored extracts can also be used for small
amounts. (check ingredients for alcohol)
Creme de Menthe (thick, syrupy sweet mint liqueur which comes in a clear or green type)- Mix spearmint extract or oil with a little water or grapefruit juice. Use a drop of food coloring if you need a green color.
Kahlua (a syrupy Mexican liqueur made with coffee and cocoa beans)- Use strong coffee or espresso with a touch of cocoa
powder
Red Burgundy (dry French wine) - Non-alcoholic wine, red wine vinegar (may contain alcohol itself), grape juice.
White wine (a sweet of dry wine) - Non-alcoholic wine, chicken broth or stock, diluted wine vinegar, or cider vinegar, white
grape juice diluted with white wine vinegar, ginger ale,
canned mushroom liquid, water. For marinades, substitute
1/4 cp vinegar + 1 tbsp sugar + 1/4 cp water.
