Great for many uses

First of all let me state that I think listing everclear under the vodka section rather strange, as it is grain alcohol, not really vodka. Also ignore epinions listing of it being 84 proof.
Everclear is 190 proof alcohol. Almost as pure as it can come. DO NOT take shots of this stuff. It is meant for mixing, and mixing it does well. I has almost no taste, what it does have being usually described as salty (or by the less enthused as machine oil).
Besides the machine oil/salty taste, it's smell upon opening the bottle will remind you of rubbing alcohol. There's nothing here but alcohol people, so don't expect any kind of great aroma. Luckily this aroma is easily hidden by almost any mixer.
This little bit of salty taste is easily masked by strong tasting juices, or a party favorite: Kool-Aid. Lemonade is also especially good to go with it. Just add enough until you can BARELY start to taste the saltiness, or until you have reached one shot's worth. Please do stop there - adding more could be dangerous, both to your physical condition, as well as your reputation.
As a trick for an Easter party you will never forget, buy some of the Jello Egg molds, then follow the recipe for making jigglers, except don't use all the water. You can either use a 50/50 mix of everclear and water. But, if you use 100% everclear, the eggs will set in the fridge in about 5 minutes flat, making it easy to keep them making as people need more. But be warned, nibble on these 100% everclear eggs very slowly, as their effect comes AFTER they've been digested, so it takes a while for the full force to hit you!
Finally, it should be noted that this alcohol has another common use besides consumption. It is often used as fire breathing fuel. It is so flammable that it is easy to take a mouth full, and spray it out while holding a lit lighter to create a fireball right in front of your face. Do NOT try this unless you are trained, or crazy. And PLEASE never do it while drunk. I have seen too many people at parties who left with no eyebrows and charred cheeks. It is simply too dangerous to think about.
