Quick Recipe

Cooking process

If the previous recipe takes about a week to prepare, then using this method you can get delicious cranberry vodka in 3-4 hours. Its disadvantage is that during the processing of the berries themselves, many useful properties disappear.

Required products:

• Beak - 0.5 kg
• Boiled water - 250 ml
• Sugar - 250 g
• Vodka - 1.2 l

Cooking method:

• Cranberries need to be poured over with boiling water, poured into a bottle and covered with sugar.
• Using a wooden mortar, mash the berries until smooth.
• Pour vodka into the resulting mixture, and close the bottle for 2 hours with a nylon cap.
• Pass the liquid through cheesecloth, and squeeze the pulp well.
• After that, add hot water (40-40o) to the tincture, mix well.
• Wait for the liquid to cool and pour it into bottles. The cork should be tightly closed, then the drink can be stored in the refrigerator or cellar for about a year. Vodka turns out 30-33% of the fortress.

To get real pleasure from cranberry vodka, you need to eat it properly. For a drink with sugar, chopped fruits, honey, and various desserts are served on the table. If vodka is sour, fried meat, salads, etc. are cooked.

Recipe "Everything in a glass"

Based on the name, you can understand that all the ingredients in this recipe are added in equal proportions.

• Now prepare the sugar syrup. Let it cool to room temperature and pour it into a bottle. We put vodka in there.
• Only after that we prepare the berries themselves. We wash and sort out the cranberries (we throw out all the rotten berries), crush it to a puree state and pour it into a jar of vodka with syrup.
• We cover the jar with a nylon lid and leave it in a cool dark place to infuse for a month.
• In order for vodka to turn out transparent and clean from cake, it must be well filtered. We use gauze for this. The cake must be given away. We pass to the second stage of filtration, for this you need to take a cloth more densely and pass the drink through it. The third and final stage of filtration is a cotton filter. Put the cotton wool tightly into the funnel and pass the vodka through it.

cranberries in alcohol

Making cranberry tinctures with alcohol is a little more difficult, but in general the process is not much different from making drinks with vodka. For each of them, the berries have to be crushed, which is why the drink turns cloudy. To make the tincture transparent and clean, it can be filtered several times. If this option is not suitable, the berries can not be crushed, but gently pierced with a needle in several places. In this form, they will also give juice and the drink will turn out to be no less tasty.

To enhance the cranberry flavor and make it more intense, you can wait until the berries begin to ferment. To do this, crush the berries into porridge and cover them with sugar. The resulting mixture is left for a couple of days, until foam forms. After that, you can add alcohol, or other alcohol.

Only berries picked by one's own hand can "wander". Before selling cranberries, they must be treated with preservatives that destroy wild yeast. Therefore, store-bought berries will not ferment, but simply deteriorate.

Recipe for alcohol

Alcohol must be diluted to 45%

Required products:

• Alcohol (45%) - 2 l
• Cranberries - 0.4 kg
• Sugar - 3 tbsp. l

Cooking method:

• If the cranberry is homemade, leave it to ferment, as described above.
• When the berries have fermented (if they are store-bought, just make a puree and use it), pour half the alcohol there. Alcohol must be diluted to 45% in advance. After that, we send the liquid to infuse for 2 weeks.
• After this time, the setting is drained into a separate container. Pour the cake a second time with 1 liter of alcohol. We leave it for a week.
• Now mix the two portions together and filter the liquid through a bandage, gauze or cotton filter.
• To improve the taste, you can add the following ingredients to the tincture (optional):
• Kolgan ground - 1 tsp;
• grated lemon peel;
• Honey - 2 tbsp;
• Sugar or sugar syrup (fructose can be used).
• If the ingredients were added, leave the tincture for another 7 days.

Another trick - the longer the tincture will stand, the tastier it will turn out.

Some more helpful tips:

• For lovers of sweet drinks, it is recommended to use 1 kg of berries, and pour 500 ml of alcohol into it. After 5 days, drain the liquid and pour another half liter of alcohol, leave for 3 days.
• Drain, mix the two resulting tinctures, dilute them with 1 liter of water and add to the drink obtained immediately.
• In order for the fortress to be at least 30%, and sugar 20%, you need to dilute it with sugar syrup (600 ml.). Therefore, add it to 1 liter of water and pour it into the tincture. The amount of drink should be brought to 3 liters.

Cranberry liqueur

It is recommended to use alcohol to prepare this drink.. It is bred up to 70%, because it is believed that it is this strength of the base that helps the taste of the berry to fully open up. Sometimes gin is used as an alcohol base, which will be a great experiment.

Although the cranberry itself has a unique taste and aroma, in order to improve the taste of the drink, many prefer to emphasize the merits of the berry with additional ingredients: cinnamon, vanilla, galangal root, ginger and even allspice.

Cranberries can be made from any ripe berries picked during ripening, after the first frost, or even overwintered. It is of no fundamental importance. The main thing is that the fruits are unspoiled and juicy.

Cranberry tincture, or How to get drunk properly

If for wines the season has passed, then for tinctures it is just beginning. And it doesn’t matter what kind of tincture it will be from, from a set of spices for Becherovka, lemon zest for Limoncello, or frozen berries. Therefore, I decided to make this winter the season of tinctures and tell you a whole million recipes for delicious tinctures, liqueurs, liqueurs and more. And we will start this season with cranberry tincture, the recipes of which will be several.

Speaking of frozen berries - for tinctures, that's it. The fact is that freezing loosens the structure of the fruit, so the juice separates much better. That is why before preparing any tinctures, the berries should be frozen. Cranberries even be sure to hold in the freezer for more than 24 hours - so it will become less bitter. So what about cranberries?

Cranberries are generally one of the most successful berries for making tinctures. It ripens in September, but easily tolerates frost and can retain its original appearance until spring. It can also be stored fresh in barrels filled with water - this way it is stored until the next harvest. Cranberries grow in damp places throughout almost the entire northern part of Russia, in particular in the Urals, Siberia and the Far East. The berries are quite large and reach 1.6 cm in diameter.

From the point of view of medicine, cranberry is an amazing berry; in Rus' it was called the “northern lemon”. It contains a huge amount of citric and quinine acid, the fruits are rich in vitamins C, B1, B2, B5, B6, PP and the rarer vitamin K1, in which they are not inferior to cabbage and strawberries. For medicinal purposes, cranberry is used as an antipyretic, diuretic and bactericidal agent. [wiki article].

For tinctures, you can take any berry, but it is desirable that it be ripe and not spoiled. So, I offer you the first recipe for cranberry tincture (in the common people "cranberry") on vodka, as the simplest and most affordable.

Traditional cranberry vodka recipe

To prepare 0.55 l of drink:

• 250 g cranberries (1 cup);
• 0.5 l of good vodka (moonshine or alcohol with a strength of 40-45%);
• 1 tbsp sugar (to taste);
• 50 ml water (optional).

Cooking "cranberries" like this:

1. We sort out the berries, get rid of the spoiled ones, wash them and pour them into a liter jar.
2. Pound the cranberries with a wooden masher / muddler until a homogeneous gruel is obtained.
3. Fill with vodka and mix well, close the jar and send for 2 weeks in a dark, warm place.
4. We filter the tincture several times through four layers of gauze, and then through a cotton filter.
5. We take a sample, and if everything suits, then leave it as it is. If the drink seemed sour, add the syrup:

• Add a tablespoon of sugar to 50 ml of water and heat until it is completely dissolved.
• cool the syrup and add it to the tincture, wait another day and taste it.

You need to store the drink in the refrigerator or basement. Of course, the resulting cranberry tincture must be given time to settle, and the longer the better. Every day its taste will become more rounded, whole, bright cranberry tones will appear. The tincture itself has an excellent color that resembles the color of cranberry juice. You should drink the drink carefully - you don’t feel the degree at all, but you can get drunk quickly ????

Recipe for cranberries in alcohol

• Here everything is a little more complicated and you have to tinker a lot. As it is right in all recipes, cranberries need to be crushed, but because of this, the initial infusion turns out to be very cloudy.
• To avoid this, you can not crush the berries, but make several holes in each of them with a needle. This process is dreary, but if you tie 3-4 needles together, then things will go faster, especially if you connect your wife =).
• But you can do without it - over time, the cranberry tincture clarifies itself, and reusable filtration through a gauze bandage also helps.

Before insisting on alcohol, cranberries can be fermented a little, as a result of which the taste of the drink will turn out to be more saturated. To do this, it is enough to crush the berries and cover them with 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, and then let them stand for a night or two. When foam appears, the berries can be poured with sorting (moonshine) or alcohol. Important! This approach is only appropriate for hand-picked berries that contain wild yeast. Berries harvested for sale and treated with preservatives may not contain preservatives, and cranberries will simply disappear.

Ingredients:

• 2 liters of alcohol, 45% strength;
• 350-400 g cranberries;
• 3 art. spoons of sugar (optional)

Cooking:

1. Mash cranberries with a wooden crusher; if the berries were collected by ourselves, then we add 3 tbsp to the berry. tablespoons of sugar, cover with a lid and send for a day or two in a warm place until it ferments.
2. In any case, even if you haven’t fermented, pour crushed berries with 1 liter of alcohol (we dilute it to 45% using our alcohol calculator), close it and put it in a warm place for 2 weeks.
3. After two weeks, drain the infusion and pour another 1 liter of alcohol, keep it for a week.
4. Drain the second infusion and mix with the first, filter through several layers of gauze and cotton wool; in the infusion is not necessary, but it is desirable to add:

• a teaspoon of crushed galangal root (you can read about it here);
• zest of one lemon;
• 2 tbsp. l. honey;
• sugar, and preferably fructose, and preferably sugar syrup to taste (for an amateur).

1. Insist after that for another 7-10 days, filter several times through gauze-cotton-paper filters; leave the cranberry tincture to rest.

As practice shows, this version of the tincture will lighten itself in 2-3 weeks, and then it can be safely filtered through cotton wool or a paper filter. Of course, the longer the drink stands, the tastier it will turn out.

1. If you are a fan of sweet tinctures of this kind, then I advise you to pour 1 kg of crushed cranberries for the first time with 0.5 liters of pure alcohol, after 5 days drain and pour another 0.5 liters for 3 days.
2. Drain, pour 1 liter of water, mix and add to both infusions, which must also be mixed together.
3. To get a 30-degree tincture with 20% sugar, you need to add a syrup of 600 ml of sugar to the resulting infusion, so add this amount of sugar to 1 liter of water after rinsing the berries, boil the syrup, pour it into the infusion and bring the total volume of the drink to 3 l.

Academician Nesmeyanov's Klyukovka is the first!

This recipe, according to legend, was invented by the famous organic chemist, the legend of Moscow University, Academician A.N. Nesmeyanov. According to the same legend, the first cranberry vodka was called "nesmeyanovka" - a favorite delicacy of natural scientists (physicists, chemists, biochemists, biologists, soil scientists, etc.). Initially, “non-mixing” was prepared in the laboratory using a centrifuge, a magnetic stirrer, and a homogenizer. Fortunately, everything is much more prosaic.

Ingredients:

• We wait for two weeks until the cranberries are infused with vodka. The recipe advises after that to add syrup, boiled from one hundred grams of sugar in a small amount of water. After that, the drink should stand in a warm place for more than a week.
• And only then can the distillate be filtered and bottled. The pleasant woody smell of galangal is clearly felt in the drink, which goes well with the berry aroma.
