Cranberry is a juicy and fragrant berry, it softens the taste and interrupts the smell of any alcohol, even if it is alcohol or moonshine of not the best quality.
Also, cranberry tincture can be made from frozen berries. Many even recommend pre-freezing cranberries, believing that such a berry gives juice much better. The drink itself turns out to be a beautiful raspberry color.
