Preparation:

Step 1
• Cake:
  
  Combine the flour, cranberries, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the butter and pulse until pea-sized chunks remain. Combine the vodka and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
Step 2
• Add 3 tablespoons of the vodka mixture to the flour mixture and pulse, adding more vodka mixture as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together when gently pressed (you may not need all of the vodka mixture).
Step 3
• Place the dough on a piece of plastic wrap, form it into a disk, and wrap it tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Step 4
• Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll it out into a 0.5 cm thick circle. Using a rolling pin, transfer the dough to a 22 cm pie pan. Gently press it into the corners of the pan and crimp the edges. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 5
• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the parchment and weights and bake until golden brown around the edges, another 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely.
Step 6
• Pour 2 tablespoons Triple Sec into a small bowl and stir in the gelatin; set aside.
Step 7
• Filling:
  
  Combine the cranberries, orange zest and juice, ginger, 1/2 cup sugar, and the remaining 2 tablespoons Triple Sec in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and continue cooking until the cranberries begin to pop, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the gelatin mixture until completely dissolved.
Step 8
• Pour everything into a blender and let cool slightly, then blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Step 9
• Once the filling has cooled, pour the heavy cream into the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat with the whisk attachment on high speed, gradually adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold a third of the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture to lighten the mixture.
Step 10
• Then fold the cranberry mixture into the remaining whipped cream until there are no white streaks. Spread the filling over the crust. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Step 11
• Decoration:
  
  Before serving, whisk the egg white with 1 tablespoon of water. Mix the cranberries with the egg white, then drain them in a sieve. Place the sugar in a medium bowl, add the cranberries, and stir until completely coated. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet to dry.
Step 12
• Pipe whipped cream into the center of the pie, top with candied cranberries and sprinkle with strips of orange zest.
