I do not know of another producer of a Cranberry Liqueur.  However, if you 
can't find a new supply, you may want to make your own:

This is from a highly reputable liqueur recipe book: "Cordials from Your 
Kitchen," by Pattie Vargas & rich Gulling.

This cranberry concoction is zigy, zesty, and surprisingly refreshing.  It has 
the clear red color of a good claret and is beautiful served in cut-glass 
cordial glasses.  It also mellows with age.  You may want to make extra during 
cranberry season to last for the entire year.

Cranberry Liqueur

3 cups fresh cranberries (one 12 ounce bag), picked over and washed
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1-1/2 cups 100-proof vodka
2 teaspoons grapefruit zest

Coarsely chop cranberries in a food processor or a blender and transfer to a 
clean 2-quart container.  Add sugar, stir, and let stand for 1 hour.  Add 
water, vodka, and grapefruit zest.  Cover tightly and let stand in a cool, 
dark place for one month.  Shake 2 to 3 times a week to prevent clumping of 
fruit.
Use a coarse sieve or colander to strain out solids.  Discard.  Strain again 
using a fine-mesh strainer.  Transfer to clean container and let stand for 1 
week.  Rack or filter into final container.  Cover and age for at least 1 
month before serving.  Yield: Approximately 1 quart.
