We have a similar common name for it being 'brand

It's basically 90% - 92% alcohol, with the rest being methanol and water

German "Spiritus", as it's called here, usually is 94% ethanol, 1-2%
butanone and water. Surely no methanol as this is lethal. Also no dye.
Spiritus is a clear and highly volatile liquid. It's also very cheap, a
one liter bottle is around 2 Euros.
