Let me show ya how to make a Fermented Cocktail with some Japanese Wineberries I found in my yard! Don't worry if you can't find Japanese wineberries... any juicy berries will work. Give it a shot. If we can make it here, you can make it anywhere pal.

Get you some Zwilling Fresh & Save vacuum containers to help with the ferment.
