If you're looking for sophistication in your choice of cocktails for Saint Valentine's Day, try this one. Chambord is a delicious black raspberry liqueur from France, and adding a good gin and orange bitters gives you a sweet and slightly spicy cocktail that is a superb after-dinner drink, especially if you want to skip the dessert.
6 cl Chambord
3 cl gin
1 or 2 dashes orange bitters
Stir ingredients with ice in a mxing glass and strain into a small wine glass.
Chambord is believed to originate from a liqueur served to the Sun King, Louis XIV, during his visits to Château de Chambord. Until 1685 the King used the château as a hunting lodge.
