How To Make 16% Alcohol Cranberry liqueur!

Can you hit 20% ABV using only supermarket ingredients and a 2L soda bottle? Today in the Lab, we’re pushing the limits with the Cranberry Apex. Cranberry is notoriously difficult to ferment because it naturally fights off yeast, but we’re using a high-performance Alcotec 48 Turbo Yeast shunt to see just how far we can go. We managed to hit a massive 16% ABV, resulting in a thick, pink, sweet "Cranberry liqueur" that costs less than £2 to produce. If you like your brews hard, fast, and cost-effective, this is the protocol for you.
