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.

What's the best way to achieve a well-balanced Chambord Vodka Sour?
