Prohibition Kits allow you to produce spirits and liqueurs at home with the minimum of effort simply by fermenting sugar with high alcohol tolerant yeast to produce a base "wash" of around 16-18% ABV and then adding the supplied sachet of flavouring.

Essences are used to add flavour to either shop bought basic "vodka", or a "wash" created by fermenting granulated sugar with high alcohol tolerant yeast.

In countries where it is legal to do so, it is also possible to use a simple air still to distill the base wash to produce neat alcohol at 37.5%-40% ABV drinking strength and then use the essences to add flavour.
