Okey dokes folks. This is an opinion about 'Chambord' it's a French liqueur made with balck raspberries. I spied in one of my (many) Christmas 'home idea's' magazines the most beautiful bottled liqueur, the picture literally whet my appetite. My desire to find it was unfortunately quashed by the fact that none of the main supermarkets actually sold it. But, while wandering in the newsagents in my office building (which is also a brilliant wine merchant) looking for a bottle of wine I spied this handsome liqueur on one of the higher shelves. Surprise surprise, there is no category on DooYoo for it just yet, so I've put it in the most ...  Read the complete review

Those of you who have read my other reviews will know that thanks to my French girlfriend and her parents I am being introduced to a whole host of French treats. In this vein I bring to you, Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur. The liqueur is a deep black / indigo colour and has a rich fruity flavour. Chambord is similar to Crème de Framboise, but a more decadent and luxurious version. The manufacturers say that it is made using blackberries, raspberries, honey and Madagascan vanilla and all 4 flavours come through wonderfully well. It is fantastic on the rocks or with a mixer. You can mix Chambord with Champagne to make a KIr Imperial (simply mix 15ml ...  Read the complete review

I discovered Chambord quite recently and now make sure I always have a bottle at home as its really versatile and tastes wonderful ! Its a dark raspberry liquer in the most exquisite "regal" looking bottle... but its only around £6.99 for 20cl from Asda and most other supermarkets and off licences. It has a rich, very sweet smooth texture, some say like velvet. It can be drunk on its own (very sweet indeed) or over ice which makes it much more palateable or over ice cream - wow ! For me, its also the secret ingredient in lots of cocktail recipes including: French Vanilla Martini Chambord ...  Read the complete review

If you have a bit of a sweet tooth when it comes to drinks. This is the perfect solution. This is a liquer make from black raspberries. So its wuite fruity but has a sweet edge, a bit like jam actually. That reminds me, this drink is perfect as a jam donought, I don't mean start cooking donuts and filling them with chambord! no no. Its a great shot, not too strong and easy to swallow without guerning like a weirdo. Basically ask for a shot glass, in a bar, see if they can rim the glass with gomme syryp and then dip it in sugar, then get them to fill the glass three quaters with chambord and the rest thick cream...mmmmmmmm it is like drinking a shot from ...  Read the complete review

Chambord Liqueur was introduced in the 17th Century but it not an exceedingly popular drink these days and I can't help but wonder why. I don't often have the money to splash on bottles of liquor that aren't smartprice - aka paintstripper - but I never regretted a moment of forking out of dosh for a bottle of the finest Chambord. It is more often than not used in cocktails these days, and the reason I bought it was because I was hosting a cocktail party. The bottle is divine, exquisite and begs to be bought in the most classy manner. So much so that I have not thrown my bottle away, I cannot bear to part with it. The drink ...  Read the complete review
