The recipe can be your own in every home, but it’s better to start with the classic one.
Where to begin?
Start by picking berries. Ideally, cranberries should be ripe. Berries must be picked during ripening, that is, after the first frost or even after winter. The main requirement is the absence of corruption. In principle, not only fresh, but also frozen berry is suitable. The latter gives more juice, so it is even preferable. Peel berries from leaves and other debris. Rinse and let dry on a paper towel. Moonshine use high-quality and clean. In the classic version of the house, moonshine is harvested on cranberries. The recipe, however, is subject to change. So, you need ripe frosted cranberries - about 1 cup. You also need to stock up 500 ml of strong moonshine, and you can add sugar and water "by eye".
Business has gone
If you make moonshine on cranberries at home, then you can act simply. To start, crush the cranberries until smooth. Handle with a spoon or pusher. If the berries are picked by yourself, then let them wander for a couple of days in the dark and warm. Then wash before insisting is not worth it, just add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar and stir. The fermentation process will occur due to microorganisms on the surface of the berries. At the end of the fermentation, foam will emerge. This is a sign that it is time to fill in the berry gruel with moonshine and knead again. Cover the resulting mixture with a lid and leave it alone for two to three weeks. Do not try to put the pan in the cold! After all, the fermentation process is going on there again, and it needs darkness and warmth. When the aging period is over, filter the tincture through gauze and then through a cotton filter. You can add sugar to your taste and slightly reduce the strength, diluting the drink with clean water. Now pour the tincture into the container and store in a cool place.
The best
If you want to impress friends and relatives, then you can take into service the longest and most delicious recipe. Such moonshine on cranberries is the best, according to many tasters. Be patient, but know that it will be rewarded a hundredfold! You will need 2 liters of double distillation moonshine, approximately 400 grams of ripe cranberries, 3 tablespoons of sugar and a glass of pure water. Sort the berries thoroughly and clean them of debris. Each stick is pricked with a needle in two or three places, and then put the punctured berries in a jar, sprinkled with sugar. Shake the jar and keep warm for a couple of days. Now pour a little moonshine to cover the berries, and then again remove the berries to roam. The first signs of fermentation are a sign that you need to add half the entire mass of moonshine, and shake the mixture and remove again to ferment for two weeks.
After the indicated period, the liquid from the berries should be drained, removed in the cold, and the berries should be poured with a new portion, and again in heat for a couple of weeks. It's almost the finish line! By the end of the second week, the tincture should be filtered and mixed with the one that is waiting in the refrigerator. The drink may be unclear. Then re-pass it through a cotton or paper filter. Voila! Drink and enjoy the rich taste!
For original natures
If you want to make a drink for your second half, which is wary of moonshine, then you can replace the main ingredient. In this case, the tincture of moonshine on cranberries, the recipe has a very original and interesting. For 500 grams of cranberries, you will need 1 lemon, a tablespoon of fructose and 0.5 liters of vodka. Freeze the berries, and then knead until mashed. By analogy with the previous recipes, fill the "pulp" with vodka, add lemon juice and fructose. In a warm, dark place, the tincture should be infused for at least two days, and then the filtration stage begins. Put the finished tincture in the refrigerator and let it "enter into force" for a couple more days. According to the observation of the tasters, the true taste of the drink is revealed a couple of months after filtration, so do not rush with the breakdown. But do not delay the storage, because after a year the taste and aroma will begin to weaken.
Faithful to tradition
And yet nothing better can be invented than a classic recipe. It has only four ingredients, and the taste is different for each. Always push the berry well to get more juice. Do not overdo it with sugar, but try to sprinkle the whole berry with it. The recipe for moonshine on cranberries is simple and variable. In particular, you can replace moonshine with vodka or tequila. And cranberries - to another berry you love. But it is in the original recipe that the harmony of sweetness and sourness is observed. In addition, cranberries are very fragrant, and therefore clogs the sharpness of moonshine. If the result seems sour to you, then dilute it not just with sugar, but with sugar syrup. Keep the drink in the refrigerator or basement.
Save on the cold
In conclusion, it is worth recalling a very original and unusual recipe. This is ginger cranberry tincture on moonshine. At home, cooking will take at least three weeks. The taste is bright, and the drink warms well. Ideal replacement for mulled wine in the cold season. You will need 400 grams of cranberries, half a teaspoon of galangal root or grated ginger, a glass of alcohol, a glass of water and 100 grams of sugar. On pure alcohol, the tincture is lighter and richer, since cranberries can interrupt any odors. The recipe differs from the above options in that while the berries are wandering, the sugar syrup is cooked over low heat. The syrup needs to be cooled and gradually poured into a cranberry infusion, closing at the end with a lid. After this, the drink is infused for about nine more days. If the berries were previously pierced with a needle, then gauze is enough to filter, but the infusion on the berry gruel involves peeling through four layers of gauze and a cotton filter. So the tincture is ready. It has a light woody aroma due to the presence of galangal root. She is moderately sweet. It goes well with fruits, desserts and honey. If the drink is made with a minimum of sugar, then its taste is perfectly complemented by fried meat, chicken and various hearty salads. Remember to let the drink rest and pause for a month before tasting. Then the taste will be fully revealed.
