Here is a recipe that works for basting. I use it instead of buying basting spray.

I watched this video and wrote out the directions. Found one MAJOR flaw in them. She did NOT give the amount of the alchol to use. Otherwise it sounded like an easy way but I also reccommend that you have good ventilation as alchol can cause some to have breathing problems.
I woked in the medical field for over 30 years and always opened one window for air circulation pharmacy closet. Could not stand the alchol fumes. Also use NOTHING stronger than 70% alchol content.
