just that 1 gallon I made put my wife and her friend to bed before 9pm.
I would say it might need a little more not sure about double it would be bad for those of us who don't know
when to stop unless your like my uncle and drink it strait

Only real danger of everclear is how high the alcohol content can be (hidden) in something. A bit of juice and you don't really taste it or realize how much (dangerously) you are drinking.

Everything is relative. There's much more juice and cider in it - to be exact, 83% of the recipe is non-alcoholic. That's more than enough to cut the everclear way down, all the way to around 13% abv, that's wine territory! double the everclear and you nearly double the ABV to around 25%. how safe is it at 25%? mmm, that's a good question, depends largely how smooth it is! I could easily drink a few quarts of the original before I realized how much i had consumed!

I'm heading to the grocery store tonight to pick up some supplies. Probably make a 1/3 or 1/4 sized batch. enough for a nice glass of thanksgiving joy, and also small enough to play with the ratios a little bit. Only have about 1L of everclear on hand right now.... need to make a supply run sometime.
