With a bottle of Chambord by my side, it was a very merry Christmas indeed. I am working my way through the recipes on the attached booklet, and this one was magnifique. 

Chambord Cosmopolitan
+ 1 oz Vodka
+ .5 oz Chambord
+ .5 oz Orange Liqueur
+ 1.25 oz Cranberry Juice
+ .25 oz Fresh Lime Juice
Shake with ice and strain into a martini glass. If you want to get really snazzy, garnish with raspberries.

A small gift for my hair stylist who keep me in booze by serving me drinks while my color is processing. I thought I’d return the favor. For those of you who have never had Chambord, it is a delicious black raspberry liqueur based on one Louis XIV was said to have enjoyed in the 17th century.
