13 Chambord Liqueur Drinks With Black Raspberry Magic

If there's any liqueur that your home bar always benefits from keeping in stock, hands down, it's Chambord. This perfectly sweet and balanced black raspberry liqueur is a staple in cocktails from classic to modern, adding elegant color and sublime berry flavor. Few liqueurs are as versatile (hello, raspberry margarita) or as timeless (there's nothing like a clover club). Grab a bottle, crack some ice, and let's shake up some Chambord drinks. 

Chambord Paloma

Everyone knows the margarita, but tequila is the perfect base for all sorts of delicious, refreshing cocktails. The paloma drink is an excellent spring or summer cocktail, and adding Chambord just sweetens the deal. 

Ingredients

• 2 ounces silver tequila
• 1 ounce Chambord
• 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
• Ice
• Chilled grapefruit soda to top off
• Thyme sprig for garnish

Instructions

1. In a cocktail shaker, add ice, tequila, Chambord, and lime juice.
2. Shake to chill.
3. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
4. Top off with grapefruit soda.
5. Garnish with a thyme sprig.

Clover Club

The original recipe for this classic gin and egg white drink uses raspberry syrup in most pre-Prohibition recipes. But Chambord renders raspberry syrup obsolete. We're not saying it's better but...

Ingredients

• 1½ ounces London dry gin
• ¾ ounce Chambord
• 1 egg white
• ¾ ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Ice
• Lemon peel and mint sprig for garnish

Instructions

1. Chill a martini glass or coupe.
2. In a cocktail shaker, add gin, Chambord, lemon juice, and egg white. 
3. Dry shake (no ice) for approximately 45 seconds to mix ingredients and create a froth.
4. Add ice to shaker.
5. Shake to chill.
6. Strain into the chilled glass.
7. Garnish with a lemon peel and a sprig of mint.

Kir Imperial

The kir imperial is a fancier version of the crème de cassis and Champagne-based kir royale. A two-ingredient cocktail that sparkles and tastes like spring? Um, yes, please. This is one of my favorite quick how-does-she-do-all-the-good-cocktails drinks I like to serve for special occasions. It's high in fancy (or bougie, as my friends insist I am) but low in effort. 

Ingredients

• ¼ ounce Chambord
• Champagne (or other sparkling wine)
• Lemon twist and fresh raspberry for garnish.

Instructions

1. Chill a Champagne flute.
2. Add Chambord to a chilled glass.
3. Slowly pour sparkling wine into the glass until about ¾ full.
4. Garnish with a lemon twist and a raspberry.

Chambord Daiquiri

This is a raspberry version of the classic shaken daiquiri cocktail, not to be confused with the blended frozen daiquiri. Although, if you're feeling the need for a glacial chill, you can always make a Chambord frozen daiquiri. 

Ingredients

• 2 ounces white rum
• 1 ounce Chambord
• ½ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
• ¼ ounce simple syrup

Chambord Moscow Mule

The French martini is a fruity and fun classic from the cocktail revival of the 1980s. Mixing vodka, pineapple juice, and Chambord, it's something that every martini lover looking for a new flavor should try. If vodka doesn't speak to your soul, gin makes a great base instead.
