Chambord Liqueur Royale de France is a liqueur that is made in the Loire valley in France. It dates back to 1685 when Louis XIV visited Château de Chambord. It is made from red and black raspberries (mûre), honey, vanilla, and cognac. It comes in a spherical bottle with gold plastic lettered "belt" around the middle. The bottle is modeled after a Globus cruciger in order to reflect Chambord's royal connection. It is 16.5% alcohol by volume.

Common drinks made from Chambord include Chambord Daiquiri, Chambord Royal Spritzer, Little Purple Men, The Purple Hooter Shooter, Sour Grapes, Grape Crush, French Martini (which started the "cocktails as a Martini" craze) and the original Sex on the Beach.
