This Sparkling Chambord Cocktail is a good choice if you are looking for a light alcoholic refreshment. It is delicious in the summer months.
Chambord is a Black raspberry liqueur made in the Loire Valley in France.
Chambord is made from raspberries, infused with French spirits, and distilled with Madagascar vanilla, cognac, and various herbs. It is popular in Italy and France, especially during the summer months.
Chambord has a sweet, thick texture. Most people enjoy it best when it is mixed with a nonalcoholic mixer or spirit. The flavor of Chambord is an intense sweet black raspberry flavor with a hint of tartness.

Gone Fishin’
We’re going camping with friends this weekend which means I am knee-deep in planning. The packing is the easy part because most of what we need lives in our little teardrop. The bulk of the planning energy is focused on the food.
You don’t have to be a foodie to struggle with what to bring to feed yourself when off the grid. It takes quite a bit of thought as to what will hold up over a number of days—regardless of how good your cooler is and how much ice you have. Some things are just not camping-appropriate. And, giving your family food poisoning is not my idea of a good time. That doesn’t mean I don’t have my bougie favorites for camping.
For example, Happy Hour with adult beverages and snacks is non-negotiable. When five o’clock rolls around and we are back at the campsite relaxing in our chairs after a day of hiking, I want a legitimate reward for my hard work. I have nothing against Wheat Thins. In fact, I love Wheat Thins. But, after a day of toiling up a mountain in the sun, I’m looking for something more. A lovely dip. Some nice cheese. A crisp glass of white wine….
One of my favorite options for camping is this Salmon Rillette recipe. It’s great for camping because the process you use to make it is similar to making a confit, which historically has been used for preserving food without refrigeration. Granted, you will need to keep this cold but if you pack the container low in the cooler with the ice you should be just fine.
