CHAMBORD LIQUEUR, France 750ml

The vanilla bean really comes through nicely in this, making my blackberry cocktails taste much more complex. I’ve been adding a splash to lemonade on hot days and it’s surprisingly refreshing. Already on my second bottle.

I've been using this in my cocktails for the last few weeks and the depth from the vanilla bean and cognac really elevates a simple whiskey sour. The bottle itself looks great on the bar cart too.

The vanilla and cognac notes really come through in a French Connection—it’s smoother than cheaper blackberry liqueurs I’ve tried. A little goes a long way in a cocktail, so this bottle will last me a while.
