Throw a little koolaid powder in it after it's brewed and it's fairly kick ass. Basically it's a weak version of rum if using sugar. If you want it more liquor like, put it in the freezer and whatever doesn't freeze is mostly pure alcohol. We call it ice wine here, but since it's straight sugar it would be ice rum. It's around 25-35%
