(Shuddering over cranberry combined with tequila...) Nope. Cranberries need to be made into a very sweet dessert mead with a perfect acid balance and allowed to age two or three years at least before drinking. My honey did a batch for me, and another quite similar batch out of hard-to-get-in-Texas lingonberries and wow, both were good!
Many years ago, our whole SCA group would go out in costume carolling. We mixed some familiar modern favorites in with some genuine medieval church music and we and our listeners had a blast. Before we started, however, we'd hit a liquor store and all get smallish bottles of some kind of liquer (to ward of the cold, of course, purely medicinal, lol). And one year there was cranberry liquer and it was very nice indeed. It almost numbed up one's brain enough to ignore Rognvaldr in his deep bass singing "Do not mess with possums" instead of "Dona nobis pacem".
