Chambord Vodka SourCocktail recipe
Rating
The Chambord Vodka Sour is a fruity and refreshing cocktail that blends the rich and sweet raspberry flavors of Chambord, a French raspberry liqueur, with the clean and smooth taste of vodka. This cocktail typically features a vivacious mix of tart and sweet notes, balanced by the addition of soda water, which adds a fizzy and light character to the drink.
Served in a highball glass, it's often garnished with a slice of lemon and fresh raspberries, enhancing its visual appeal and providing a zesty contrast to the sweetness of the liqueur. The Chambord Vodka Sour is a delightful choice for those who enjoy a berry twist on the classic sour cocktail structure.

A lemon slice or twist works beautifully with the acidity of the sour, while fresh raspberries or a sprig of mint can enhance the drink's visual appeal and complement its raspberry notes.
What type of occasion is the Chambord Vodka Sour most suited for?
The Chambord Vodka Sour, with its elegant appearance and balance of sweet and sour, is perfect for summer parties, celebratory occasions, or as a sophisticated cocktail choice at a dinner party.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Chambord Vodka Sour?
Yes, for a non-alcoholic variation, replace the vodka with soda water or a non-alcoholic spirit, and use a raspberry syrup instead of raspberry liqueur. Adjust the sweet and sour balance with lemon juice and simple syrup as needed.
What's the best way to achieve a well-balanced Chambord Vodka Sour?
The key is in the ratio and shaking technique. Use fresh lemon juice for the sour component, and shake the ingredients vigorously with ice before straining into the glass. This ensures a smooth, chilled drink with a perfect blend of sour and sweet flavors.

maybe vanilla vodka
Yeah that could definitely work. I think the sweetness the vanilla would add would balance this really well
