TOOTING MY HORN FOR THE FRENCH HORN

FRENCH HORN

1 measure vodka

¾ measure Chambord

½ measure lemon juice

Raspberries for garnish

I’ve never really known what that pretty Chambord bottle I’ve seen behind a bar was until tonight. Now I not only know that Chambord is a raspberry liqueur from France, I also know that it is delicious, especially when paired with vodka and lemon juice.

To make the FRENCH HORN cocktail — the drink that I will forever remember as the reason I meet Chambord — I first added the ingredients above into a glass pitcher. I then added plenty of ice, stirred the ingredients briskly, and strained them into a martini glass. I finished it off by garnishing my FRENCH HORN with a raspberry.

By the third FRENCH HORN, I had a couple of raspberries floating around my glass and I was feeling no pain. The FRENCH HORN is a must if you like raspberries. It’s sweet, but not too sweet, and the vodka and lemon are a perfect complement to the berry flavor.

“Wow, I really like it,” was my husband’s reaction and I’ll toot my horn for the FRENCH HORN too. I highly recommend that you procure some Chambord: It’s not as expensive as it looks or tastes. Then you can have your own horn to toot.
