Most tinctures are made with high proof alcohol so getting one that tastes good is the first choice.
Most instructions have you use Everclear, which alone tastes nasty or vodka which at high proofs isn’t much better. I like to use a high proof rum or brandy. A good 151 proof dark rum is very palatable.
