Chambord Liqueur Royale de France
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chambord Liqueur Royale de France is a liqueur made in the Loire valley in France. It dates back to 1685 when Louis XIV visited Château de Chambord. It is made from black raspberries, blackberries (mûre), honey, vanilla, and cognac. It has no preservatives and must be consumed within six months otherwise the ingredients separate. It comes in a spherical bottle with a gold plastic lettered 'belt' around the middle. The bottle is modeled after a Globus cruciger, which reflects Chambord's royal connection. It is 23% alcohol by volume.
Common drinks made from Chambord include Chambord Daiquiri, Chambord Royal Spritzer, Little Purple Men, The Purple Hooter Shooter, Sour Grapes, Peanut Butter and Jelly (w/ Frangelico or Castries Peanut Cream), Grape Crush, French Martini which started the 'cocktails as a Martini' craze, the "Blood of Christ",and the original Sex on the Beach.
