Best Answer
The alcohol can be removed by fractional distillation : if done carefully, the remainder of the beverage would be unchanged and drinkable, except that any alcohol-soluble solids would precipitate. Heating the liquid to about 175 degrees F (80 degrees C) will drive out the alcohol.
If the drink were heated enough, the water would also evaporate, and would have to be re-added to the remaining materials to recreate the drink.

The problem would be that heating the drink to remove the alcohol (without removing the water) is a destructive process to many beverages, including those that depend on carbonation or dissolved gases. When used to lower the alcohol content of drinks such as beer, it is done under controlled conditions because heat and light can affect the non-alcoholic product.
