Notes
You can omit the black walnut liquor if you can't find it, and simply add a little more whiskey. If whiskey isn't your thing, Vodka, Mezcal or Bourbon would be great substitutions. You need to make the brandied cranberries at least 24 hours before you make this cocktail.
Make sure that your cranberry juice is real juice, with no sugar added. It will be very tart. You can also substitute the cranberries and juice with cherries if you prefer.
