Chambord
Chambord is a French black raspberry liqueur made from raspberries, blackberries, honey, and cognac, giving it a rich, jammy berry sweetness with a subtle wine-like depth. It is packaged in its distinctive globe-shaped bottle. It is most often used as an accent rather than a primary base.
Common uses
- floated for colour and berry aroma
- modifier in fruity shaken cocktails
Buying & storage
Keeps more or less indefinitely: Alcohol is preserving it. An open bottle keeps for a very long time, though aromatics do fade slowly.
Storage: keeps well once opened, store upright away from light
