Well, different ingredients are best extracted with different alcohols by proof. For example, for making vanila extract 50-70% spirit will work much better than 96% or 40% spirit. I'd recommend DIY Bitters: Reviving the Forgotten Flavor, great book with information about what alcohol content is best suited for what herb, thought can't say it's 100% correct information.
Making your own tinctures is a rewarding practice. This book is specific to bitters but teaches you a lot about the process of creating tinctures, including preparations for 90 herbs! It also has some wonderful recipes for bitters both tincture form and edible form (beverages and foods). I highly recommend it!
