I use my grandma's old recipe, which is somewhat similar to this recipe, Gran always said it lasted 6 weeks in the fridge. But as I said, it never lasted that long.
I have some in my fridge which my cousin gave SWMBO 3 weeks ago and I had a sneaky sampler last night. it looked great and tasted so too.
I don't think you'll get a definitive answer, as BT1 says - use your senses and if it looks suss and smells suss throw it out.
If you plan to make some as gifts, as I would tell them to shake it well before drinking and to drink within 28 days (just to be on the safe side). Let's face it, if you can't knock over a bottle of this stuff in 28 days over Christmas you are a borderline teetotaller.
