In reply to E. Hi E, I was able to fill about 3.5 of the 16 ounce bottles. Thanks for the question. I'll clarify that in the post.

Question about qty for the recipe. You mention this makes 6 cups – how many decorative bottles does this fill at the end (the bottles in your link show 16 oz bottles). The qty in your recipe as-written, does it fill only 1 (16oz) bottle or several? Was thinking it would fit 3.

Hi Karen,

Good question! Here’s my thought. Using rum instead of vodka would give you a completely different liqueur with its own personality. Rum brings molasses, caramel, and sometimes spice notes that vodka doesn’t have, so your cranberry liqueur would taste less purely of cranberry, as it would with the vodka, and more like a spiced cranberry rum. This would probably work great in the Mule, but would lend a total different profile to some vodka based drinks.

That said, go for it! Put your own spin on it and let me know what you think.

This looks amazing. I haven’t made it yet – I just saw it on the email newsletter a but am looking forward to making this week. Quick question- can I use rum instead of vodka?
