as long as you don't try 1:1. 3 Tbsp brandy flavoring would be overpowering. You'd just have to make up the remaining liquid some other way.

Ginger, molasses and caramel flavors - maybe try sweet cider, +/- the flavoring? Something citrusy? And never overlook plain water, as long as you used extract for flavor. I'm not sure I'd try dairy, just because I'm not sure how it would react to the cooking process.
