Looking for something delicious, a little bit different and a beautiful hue of pink to serve for Valentines Day?! The Chambord Daiquiri is the perfect choice!

This drink packs a punch but is a bit more drinkable than a martini. It’s got the classic makings of a lime daiquiri but has the addition of Chambord, which makes it perfect for Valentines Day!

As we dive into the Chambord Daiquiri, let’s uncover the history of Chambord and the easy steps to make this delightful drink for a memorable Valentine’s Day.

The Charming Chambord Liqueur

Chambord is a French liqueur that is modelled after a liqueur that was produced in the Loire Valley of France in the late 17th Century.

Chambord is made from red and black raspberries and is quite delicious in cocktails and also in a glass of champagne!

Crafting Simple Syrup

To prepare this delightful cocktail, you’ll need simple syrup.

While it can be conveniently purchased, making it at home is a breeze.

Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, bring it to a boil, and simmer until the sugar dissolves, resulting in a syrupy consistency.

This recipe uses 1/2 cup of each, providing enough for multiple cocktails. Store any excess in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
