Viburnum tincture on moonshine at home
Description
The cranberry tincture turns out very vibrant, with a delicate vanilla-cinnamon aftertaste. Cranberries give the drink a bright color and flavor, while the aroma comes from mandarin and spices. Sugar can be replaced with floral honey if desired. It is recommended to let the drink steep for at least 30–40 days. Don't forget to shake the container occasionally for better infusion. Ready to serve.
