Steve, read my earlier post. They used mineral water. And yes, they
will assimilate, as ethanol and water are miscible. This is why they
form azeotropic mixtures. However, it does Not happen immediately.

Think about it.... much liquor is distilled, bulk packaged and
shipped at proofs well over 100. (Think federal tax). It is then
diluted with water prior to bottling. When you buy it, there are no
waves. They assimilate and all is cool.
