Chambord Margarita

May 18, 2016 13 Comments

Chambord Margarita

Chambord Margarita a pretty and tasty riff on the standard fare

This Chambord Margarita combines my favorite liqueur, Chambord, and my favorite cocktail, a shaken margarita on the rocks.

Try a splash of Chambord in your margarita!

I was pleased to find that the complex berry flavors of the Chambord were an elegant and intriguing enhancement to the standard lime and tequila flavors of the margarita.

Margarita with Chambord splash is oh, so pretty!

And just a splash of the ruby red Chambord transforms the cocktail’s color to pretty pastel pink. I didn’t realize until after I had made and photographed this Chambord Margarita that Chambord has its own recipe on its fabulous website! The James Beard Foundation also has a yum-looking recipe.

Yes, Chambord is expensive–about $35 for a bottle–but a little goes a long way, and a bottle seems to last and last. I created a festive martini with this wonderful liqueur, the Cherry Chambord Cream Dream, a few months ago.

Lime sugar salt mixture for cocktails

The rim of the glass shown here is covered with a unique lime sugar salt mixture, made from the zest of a lime, a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of salt, all quickly pulverized fine in the food processor. The extra mixture can be stored in a covered jar.

Little green flecks from the lime zest add color and citrusy pizzaz to the rims of your Chambord Margarita, or other cocktail of your choice.

Shake up all the ingredients over ice and strain over a couple of ice cubes. I hope you’ll try this pink, fruity and refreshingly cold Chambord Margarita! Here’s the recipe:
