extracts vs. alcohol in baking

I use alcohol all the time when I cook, even in ice cream. Recently I've been using Plum Wine as a fish and chicken marinade. Southern Comfort is my usual choice for baking and is great in brownies, cookies and cakes - in both the batter and the frosting.

During the holidays, I like Peppermint Schnapps, but I'll use whatever alcohol is in the house. The flavors are different, but the amount of alcohol that I actually use is pretty small somewhere between 1T and 1/4 cup. People love the flavors and always ask what I used.

Wonderful! And I loved the Snapple reference. Remember the Snapple lady? I wonder whatever happened to her...
