Marzipan without alcohol
Rose water does normally contain a small amount of naturally occurring ethyl alcohol. But it is very small. If you want to make marzipan potatoes without alcohol, be sure to buy rose water that has no extra alcohol added.
If you want to replace the rose water, just use a few drops of water instead. A little rum flavoring also goes well.
SOS troubleshooting for your marzipan treats
If your marzipan is too dry and crumbly, add a few drops of rose water or vegetable oil (tasteless).
If it is too soft, add powdered sugar, which binds moisture.
