Cranberry Gelatin Salad

In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar and unflavored gelatin. Add the cranberry juice cocktail; heat and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in 3/4 cup chopped cranberries, ginger ale, and cranberry liqueur. Turn into a 6- to 7-cup mold (cranberries will float). Cover and chill until almost set, about 60 minutes.

Spoon sherbet mixture over almost-set first layer in mold. Cover and chill until mixture is set.
