I'd try your Sima recipe, but would really like to have a ballpark idea of its alcopop content. Moderate concentrations of ethanol can give some beverages a pleasant tangy 'bite', but personally I get really sick if the content is too high.

Well, as far as I know there's no alcohol in it... I'm pretty sure my very Mormon father wouldn't have been letting us near it at a young age (I've been drinking the stuff since I was about 5) if there was. Not anymore than what is in some cough medicines, that is...

And no, I don't have one of "those densiometer thingies for measuring the alcoholic content of homemade beer or wine" Sorry...never heard of it.
