Ethanol, and methanol, the base ingredient of the likes of Vodka, and Gin, is a derivative of oil. Ethanol for spirit production, is a refinement of the stuff you put in your car, or aeroplane.

Additional information provided by the
NTSB IIC:


The fuel used by the accident aircraft did not contain ethanol or methanol. The accident aircraft had a modified "boil off" cooling system that contained methanol.

So no ethanol in the plane... so to use your own words we are left with Vodka or Gin..
