What is in a French martini?
The modern French martini was created in the late 1980s and is attributed to the New York City bars owned by restaurateur Keith McNally. By the mid-’90s, it appeared on martini menus worldwide and had become an essential cocktail in the modern martini craze of drinks that resemble the original martini (sometimes in glassware alone). It has remained a favorite for so long because its flavor can appeal to anyone and is quite simply the ideal fruity vodka martini.

What Is Chambord Made From?
Chambord is a naturally flavored raspberry liqueur produced in the Loire Valley, south of Paris, France. Officially named Chambord Liqueur Royale de France, it is based on a 17th-century recipe that’s said to have been served to King Louis XIV at the famous estate, Château de Chambord.
Making Chambord requires a double infusion of whole raspberries, blackberries, and black currants in French spirits.
What Does Chambord Taste Like?
Chambord has a rich, semi-sweet, and intense berry flavor. Even though it has vibrant color and fruit ingredients, it is not overly sweet, and the vanilla and citrus peel taste is present. It has a velvety mouthfeel that makes it even more delicious.
