~Today's Cocktail Vol. 83~
Saturday, December 20th
The Christmas mood in the city is finally at its peak. There are only about 10 days left in this year.
Having rushed through the busyness of the year-end, this weekend has finally arrived. Tonight, for you who have started to think about wrapping up the year, I would like to introduce a drink that makes you feel like you are in a French royal palace, an exceptionally elegant and inspiring glass.
The birthday cocktail for today, December 20th, is the 'Chambord and Champagne,' where the queen of berry liqueurs meets the king of bubbles (generally also called 'Chambord Royale').
Its cocktail word is 'a passionate person with rich ideas who works hard toward their goals,' which is fitting for this time of year.
The fine bubbles rising in the glass and the enchanting ruby color. It is a beautiful cocktail that seems to reflect the very passion of you, who continue to run toward your dreams.
🍸 What kind of cocktail is a Chambord and Champagne?
As the name suggests, it is a simple yet supreme cocktail made by mixing the premium French raspberry liqueur 'Chambord' with champagne.
The sight of beautiful ruby-colored bubbles rising endlessly from the bottom of the champagne flute is enough to brighten your heart just by looking at it.

※好みでラズベリーの実を浮かべると、さらにフォトジェニックに。Chambord's unique rich and noble sweetness of black raspberry, honey, and vanilla is sublimated into a surprisingly elegant taste by meeting the crisp acidity of champagne. Its deep crimson hue is the color of the 'passion' you keep in your heart. Take a sip, and you will feel the mellow aroma of berries spread, bringing you the vitality for tomorrow.
📚 Trivia and Romance regarding 'Royalty' and 'Passion'
■ The 'King's Liquor' loved by Louis XIV
'Chambord' was created based on a raspberry liqueur presented to the Sun King, Louis XIV, who visited Chambord Castle in the late 17th century. The bottle design, which mimics a crown, is also distinctive. This cocktail will wrap your figure as you push forward toward your goals with the grace and confidence of royalty.
■ 'Rich ideas' that create the future
The endlessly rising champagne bubbles (perles) are a symbol of 'happiness', and at the same time, they are like 'ideas' and 'imagination' that spring up one after another. The sweet taste and pleasant stimulation of carbonation will loosen your rigid thinking and bring you new inspiration to achieve your goals.
