Choosing the right ingredients and Champagne
To craft the perfect Chambord and Champagne Cocktail, you’ll need the finest ingredients. Start with Chambord, a premium raspberry liqueur that adds a luscious sweetness and depth of flavor. Pair it with your chosen Champagne – whether it’s a crisp Brut, a slightly sweeter Extra Dry, or a luxurious sweet Demi-Sec choose your personal favorite. My favorite is a demi-sec because I tend to like sweeter cocktails.
According to gayot.com the best demi-sec Champagnes are:
- Champagne A. Margaine Cuvée, runs about $45 for 750 ml
- Billecart-Salmon’s Demi-Sec, runs about $55 for 750ml
- Champagne Collet, runs about $53 for 750ml
According to Liquor.com the best Brut (dry) Champagnes are:
- Krug Grande Cuvée Brut, runs about $180 for 750 ml (Best Overall)
- Duval-Leroy Brut Reserve, runs about $43 for 750 ml (Best Value)
- Delamotte Blanc de Blancs, runs about $123 (Best Brut)
However, there is no need to break the bank and use Champagnes from France. There are many budget-friendly alternatives. For example:
- Italian Prosecco (that I used for this recipe) that runs about $13-20 for 750ml
- Spanish Cava which runs about $15-25 for 750 ml
- Gruet Demi-Sec, from America that runs about $17 for 750 ml
