how everyone welcome back to the
cocktail vlog I'm Steve the bartender
and today I'm showing you how to make
three easy Chambord cocktails for
Mother's Day thanks to our video sponsor
Chambord I have had many people ask if I
could make a Chambord compilation and
now it's perfect timing
the team from chat boards jumped on
board and I'm gonna show you how to make
three easy cocktails two common
Cherbourg cocktails and then one that's
a little bit different so make sure you
stick around to the end to check that
one out first cocktail is the French
martini it wouldn't be a Chambord
compilation without the French martini
so the original recipe does call for
cassis but it's very commonly
substituted in for Chambord for good
reason because it's a delicious sweet
the cure the cassis will produce a drier
French martini Shambaugh it's got more
sugar content to it since it's sixteen
and a half percent so it's going to
create a sweeter french martini which I
in this cocktail I think works really
well the cocktail was first made by Alan
Katz in New York City I believe he's the
master distiller at New York distilling
Co there's many different ratios with
this drink the one of the most popular
ones being for 1/3 ratio today I'm using
a 1 1 2 which produces a sweeter French
martini which I think will keep all the
mums happy start off by measuring 30 mil
one ounce of your Chambord say black
raspberry liqueur
it also has red raspberries it's got
citrus honey and Madagascan vanilla but
the prominent flavors are black
raspberry
and then Finlandia vodka so in 30 ml one
ounce that's right in and pineapple
juice with the four one three ratio I
actually found it better with the
store-bought pineapple juice which was
not made from concentrate and
unsweetened but this particular actually
because it is sweeter it does have a
higher ratio of the Chambord this works
really well with partially fresh pressed
pineapple juice because it has an
additional acidity to balance out that
sweetness so 60 mil pineapple juice
which is a ratio of one part fresh
pineapple juice to three parts
store-bought unsweetened
sounds literally confusing but I'll
leave all that information in the
description below
add ice to your cocktail shaker and give
it a good shake have my glass chilling
and today I'm double straining reason
being is because of use that fresh
pineapple juice so there's gonna be a
little bit of pulp in there and I want
that strained out africanus you can
either drop the fresh raspberry straight
in the drink or if you've got a cocktail
skewer skewer three raspberries and they
have the French party Cheers
deliciously sweet in this particular
ratio the Chambord is the hero so if
your doctor do like it a little bit
drier probably more vodka forward then
I'll leave that other recipe in the
description below but this is delicious
mum's going to absolutely love it on to
the second cocktail the Chambord Royale
which is a twist on the classic kuroi R
which calls for cassis now this one is
going to be perfect if you plan on
serving mum breakfast in bed
instead of a mimosa make her a Chambord
Royale which is as easy as it gets so
this one calls for 1/4 ounce seven point
five mil to 90 ml of all three ounces of
champagne preferably a dry champagne
because it's a sweet liqueur now I have
a two hundred real bottle I have a
miniature bottle I'm going to use a
whole entire thing so I'm going to
increase my Chambord 250 ml 1/2 an ounce
so the ratio ratios are still saying the
same but I'm just going to use the whole
bottle why not or you could make mum one
and make yourself one whilst you're
prepping breakfast
bottles are adorable that's as easy as
that it's just Chambord and champagne
delicious of course if you don't have
French Champagne you can substitute it
for something else if you do use a
Prosecco which is going to be a sweeter
style then I'd probably consider
allowing the Chambord just a time a
little bit have garnish a blackberry on
the side of glass they have a very
classy Chambord Royale Cheers
delicious good quality champagne with a
little sweet black raspberry flavor to a
cowgirl

Shambala is just fantastic to substitute
into classic cocktails in place of the
sugar component so you could make a
sours clover club Collins all work
really well just by simply removing the
sugar and replacing with Chambord so
that's essentially what I've done with
this one I'm making a Chambord sidecar
got my glass set aside chillin ready to
go for the cocktail and I'm measuring
out 45 mil of brandy or cognac whatever
you have at home and then it's 3/4 of an
ounce 20 to 25 mil of Chambord black
raspberry liqueur and dry Curacao cognac
based orange liqueur just measuring out
7 a half mil quarter ounce just a tiny
bit now if you don't have the dry
Curacao you could try it with Grand
Marnier Cointreau even substitute it for
simple syrup if you don't have it and
then 22.5 bill 3/4 ounce of fresh lemon
juice
which is roughly half 11 depending on
the size I feel that glass with ice and
give it a hodge hike now straight into
that chilled coupe class Nick and Nora
martini whatever glass you have and for
garnish I'm going to add a blackberry a
small twist of lemon and discard that
just expressing the walls over the top
lemon twist they have a Chambord vodka
Cheers
super-tasty rendition of a sidecar you
have the added sweetness from the
Chambord but it's still very balanced
and I like the addition of the the dry
Curacao some subtle orange notes and a
dryness it's tasty it's very good it's
possibly my favor of the street thanks
for watching hope you spoil your mom
this Mother's Day and I'll see you soon
for another cocktail vlog Cheers
