Is there any difference between granulated and extra fine granular sugar?
Superfine sugar- or Bartender's sugar, is more course than powdered sugar. Superfine sugar is similar to castor sugar (and can substitute each other), but if I were to put it in order, Superfine would have the largest granules, and powdered sugar would have the smallest. Powdered sugar cannot be substituted with superfine sugar, or castor sugar, since it's too fine :3.

You can use superfine sugar in any recipe and be successful, it's when you try to substitute regular granulated sugar when it calls for superfine that you run into trouble because it will be too grainy or possibly lumpy. You could always make your own version of superfine sugar by putting regular granulated sugar into a food processor and chopping it up for a minute or two and it would be simliar to store bought superfine sugar.

Can you use regular granulated or powdered sugar in place of superfine?
Powdered sugar has a buffering agent in it that keeps it fluffy and prevents lumps. This means that powdered sugar has a finer texture but doesn't work well in clear drinks, as they won't remain clear, even when the sugar dissolves. Superfine sugar is pure sugar, intended to dissolve easily. It does however have a slightly crunchier texture. So, if you don't mind the texture change, you can substitute superfine when the recipe calls for powedered sugar, but not the other way around.
