If you love Chambord as I do but suffer sticker shock when buying it, here’s a good substitute. It doesn’t taste exactly the same when drinking it straight up, but when mixed in cocktails you won’t be able to tell the difference. I use one of those fancy Chambord bottles to store it in. Cook time is the LONG mellowing time. ( 3 months so plan ahead)
