We get ours in big bottles from the restaurant supply. Pretty inexpensive. Of course, Hata's and my friend skelling, who does everything by hand herself (angel she'd drive you bananas with the perfectionism in food except she's so dang nice), buys beans in bulk on ebay and makes her own. I can't remember if she uses brandy or vodka or both or neither. Probably a bottle with vodka and a bottle with brandy. This is a woman who makes her own marshmallows and cans her own tuna. If I didn't love her so much...
