A few people have asked for a Chambord Margarita recipe so we put on our testing hats and tried several recipes. There are quite a lot of variations available that include ingredients like pomegranate or pineapple juice but we liked this one from James Beard the best.
I have also copied at the bottom of this post the official Black Raspberry Margarita from the Chambord bottle. Although we enjoyed this we still prefer the one we came up with. Why don’t you have fun and try them both!
But first up, a little bit of information about this unique liqueur. Chambord black raspberry liqueur is made in France with raspberries, blackberries, Moroccan citrus peel, Madagascar vanilla, honey, XO cognac, herbs, and spices.
Chambord Bottle Price
