I'd probably skip the sweetener if it's not required. I love that the berries stay in good shape, I was afraid of moldy blobs, but I suppose that's a wonder of high alcohol content!

This looks tasty! Thanks for the link-love. Steeping apple peels (and two cinnamon sticks - optional) in a white rum or a "mellow whiskey" (oxy-moron) is pretty tasty. For the rum, it works best if you heat it up slightly.
