generally, glycerin (=glycerol) is used
it's a tri-alcohol, harmless, but it tasts sweet, so it might change the taste

and it's not expensive, pritty easy to find and has no color

I use karo light or honey
depends on the spirit.
karo light gives almost no flavor.....maybe a tiny bit of sweet

well, if you're making liqueurs just use some less sugar to compensate for the additional gycerine ....
