Raspberry Liqueur
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)
