Love this!! I lightened up the sugar a little. I used 2 1/2 12 lb bags with 1 cup sugar, divided it between 3 gallon mason jars and let it sit with vodka for 2-3 weeks. Then, I filled clear wine bottles with screw tops that I had washed out and saved. Perfect holiday gifts.

I made this one year and saved the masserated cranberries to use as "Adult" cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving. My sister, a nurse working the night shift, missed my warning that it was adult... as in liquored up. She was getting plastered on the "sauce"... and it was hysterical. The by product is as good as the beverage!
