Directions
Cranberry Liqueur,I always associate autumn with cranberries. Here is an elegant liqueur that’s really easy to make (and a treat to receive as a Christmas or hostess gift). If giving as a gift, be sure to allow enough time (in days) for the fruit to fully infuse the liquor. Cooking time is actually infusion time. UPDATE: After the liqueur is made, try using it to make Rita L’s cocktail A Jolly Christmas Special Cosmo or Red Hot Lovers Cosmo (recipe #109007), or if you give the liqueur as a gift, you might want to give the recipient a copy of Rita’s recipe to go with it!) ,How long can I leave the cranberries sitting in the vodka before straining and bottling? And can I “bottle” it in a mason jar? Does it need to be sealed or refridgerated at that point?,I made this so I could try Rita’s A Jolly Christmas Special Cosmo so I cut the recipe down to 1/4 as I wanted to try a smaller portion before committing that much vodka.. For us, the final liqueur is a bit cough syrupy, but I would make it again stopping at step 8 as we loved the cranberry infused vodka. At steps 8/9 I didn’t have any white residue so I just strained it again through a very fine mesh sieve.
