I have been reading on luster dust and that it works best by mixing it with Vodka or Everclear, but I am making a cake for someone, who I know would not want either of those on there cake. What is the best alternative to these? I would appreciate any feed back, thanks.
you can also use clear vanilla extract or lemon extract however I have heard that lemon oil will bleed through the color so.....

lemon extract works I have heard, never used it myself. I think it also has alcohol in it and I am thinking that that is the reason you don't want to use the vodka or everclear.
You could try water and see what happens, the reason for using the alcohol is that it drys very fast and doesn't melt the sugar in the frosting.
The vodka or everclear will evaporate totally. There is alcohol in clear vanilla extract too.
I wouldn't try water. It will make any coloured icing/fondant run, or at least thin out where you brush it. Besides, you use so little Vodka (or whatever you use), you never really taste anything.
