Chambord Liqueur

Chambord is a raspberry liqueur that was inspired by ancient Loire Valley liquor. The drink's base is a mixture of raspberries and blackberries that have been macerated in a neutral French spirit. Dark purple in color, the liqueur is deep, flavorful, smooth, fragrant, and not excessively sweet. It's ideal for cocktails, and it pairs particularly well with Champagne, vodka, rum, or gin.

It is made without the use of any artificial ingredients. Chambord is made with raspberries and blackberries, Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey, and cognac in the Loire Valley. To make a fruit infusion, whole raspberries and blackberries are soaked in French spirits for several weeks. After the infusion is extracted, the fruit is infused with the second set of spirits and let to rest for a few weeks. The leftover fruit is pressed to extract the natural sugars and juice after the second infusion is taken off. The berry infusion is then mixed with a special mixture of cognac, natural vanilla extract, black raspberries, citrus peel, honey, and herbs and spices, followed by the fruit-infused spirits and juices from the final pressing. The liqueur has a volume alcohol content of 16.5 percent.
