Literature
- Everclear is featured in Minnesota humorist Garrison Keillor’s novel Lake Wobegon Days.[3] In one scene, a housewife throws her husband’s cup of coffee onto a kitchen fire to douse it, whereupon the coffee bursts into flame. She later finds a bottle of Everclear labeled “DON’T THROW OUT” under the kitchen sink, and correctly surmises that her husband had put a shot of it in his coffee.
- Tucker Max discusses the consumption of Everclear multiple times in his book I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell.
Music
- The rock band Everclear takes its name from the spirit.[4]
- The Jerrod Niemann song "For Everclear" and the Roger Creager song "The Everclear Song" both refer to it.[5]
- Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys tells in his song "Ever So Clear" how drinking Everclear resulted in his eye being shot out.[6]
