What is Chambord? 

While everyone knows and has tasted Champagne, Chambord isn’t that common. If you have never heard of Chambord before, we have got you covered!

Walk into any modern bar and you will find Chambord. It is a staple for cocktails. Chambord is a premium black raspberry liqueur that is typically used in fruity cocktails. Chambord has a sweet flavor coupled with a fruity taste and a bright purple color. This makes it an excellent addition to cocktails like Chambord & Champagne, and martinis. 

Chambord hails from the Loire Valley in France. It is prepared with raspberries and blackberries infused in a crafted blend of cognac and French spirit base. It is then mixed with Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey, herbs, and spices. 

Chambord isn’t inexpensive and definitely shouldn’t be taken for granted. It is in the top ranks of premium spirits. However, Chambord does have cheaper alternatives like the Creme de cassis, a black currant flavored liqueur.

Here Are Some Tips To Perfect The Chambord & Champagne Cocktail

1. If you are preparing this drink for a party, and there are several glasses, pour the Chambord into each glass ahead of time. Then all you have to do is to top each glass off with Champagne when you are ready to serve.

1. You shouldn’t stir this drink. The bubbles in the Champagne do all the mixing for you. Besides, stirring can reduce the sparkling effect of the drink and make it bland.
2. You should serve the Chambord & Champagne drink immediately after preparing it, so the wine remains effervescent and the liqueur doesn’t lose its flavor.
3. Chambord is an extremely sweet liqueur, so you should pair it with a drier wine to get the best results. Any champagne with “brut” on the label will be the driest and thus, the best choice for this drink. Extra dry champagne is a tad bit sweeter but retains the dryness so the cocktail should maintain a fair balance and you won’t have any problem. Most drinkers will find that a “demi-sec” is just too sweet for the liqueur.
4. If you want, you can also create a non-alcoholic version of this cocktail. All you need to do is pour a raspberry syrup then top it with sparkling cider or grape juice. You can also use Grenadine syrup which will give your drink a touch of pomegranate flavor.
5. To add a touch of elegance, add garnish to your Chambord & Champagne cocktail. You can either use a lemon or orange twist that floats above the rim or inside the drink, or you could float a few pomegranate seeds, raspberries, blackberries, and cranberries in the drink.
6. You can use this easy recipe to come up with your variations of the classic Chambord & Champagne drink. Browse through your liquor cabinet for similar sweet-flavored cocktails. Liquors such as apple, lychee, pear, peaches, mango, pomegranate, and strawberry would work brilliantly as substitutes for Chambord.
