Oh, I just meant cook off in the sense of bringing it to the boil so the cornstarch works, most of the alcohol would stick around. Just doing the vinegar and cornstarch makes more sense than my idea though. I don't think you'd need much cornstarch, I use maybe two teaspoons to get ~200ml of sweet and sour sauce to a consistency similar to hollandaise.
