For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality gin with botanical notes. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, tasting after a few weeks of infusion and adding more if needed. Sterilizing your jar properly is crucial to prevent any unwanted bacteria from affecting the liqueur. Boil the jar and lid in water for 10 minutes, then allow them to air dry completely before using. Experiment with other flavorings, such as orange zest, cinnamon sticks, or star anise, to create your own unique liqueur blend. The leftover cranberries can be used in muffins, cakes or even served as a condiment with roast turkey or chicken
