    Cranberry Lemonade Wine

    I love to experiment. I got some cranberries cheap. So I juiced them and made almost two gallons of cranberry lemonade wine. That was in 2014. Tonight I opened a bottle. It is a little light on taste. Maybe 8-9% alcohol. It's taste lingers for more than a minute mostly on the front and sides of my tongue. I can feel a heat sensation high in my throat. The cranberry has a tartness to it.

    If I made it again I would pair it with a stronger fruit. I think I would use a champagne yeast to boost its alcohol content. I might try it with cherries in a 60-40 cherry-cranberry mix.

    I have little doubt I will finish the bottle this evening.

    Cranberry juice is tart. Lemonade is tart. Sounds tart.

    I'd love to try wine making. My grandfather would make cherry wine behind the regrigerator. the heat?? and it was good.

    Myself...i make flavored moonshine. I do lots of apple, peach and cherry. Those are my favorites. and everyone else seems to enjoy those too.
