When you think of fruity cocktails, you probably envision pineapple, citrus, or passion fruit cocktails that give you a summer beach vacation vibe. But if berries are more your thing, mix up some Chambord cocktails, featuring the classic raspberry-laced liqueur, which has hints of blackberry, black currant, Madagascar vanilla, and cognac, as well.

The classic Chambord cocktail—the royale—calls for adding a splash of Chambord with a few ounces of champagne. But if bubbly isn't your thing, there are still plenty of other fun Chambord cocktails that are positively worth sampling.
