Cranberry Liqueur
Cranberry liqueur is one the finest liqueurs there is. It has a beautiful burgundy color, it can be made into cranberry vodka by simply decreasing the amount of sugar and it can be mixed with other vodkas or liqueurs to create even more sophisticated drinks. Its flavor exhibits this slight sourely tang that goes extremely well with other sweet drinks like for example a honey vodka.
