Frozen Chambord Margaritas

Frozen Chambord Margaritas

How has your Summer been so far? It’s going to get a lot better with this frozen Chambord margarita recipe! 

To me, Summer is about the simple things, good friends, family, good food, good drinks, and all of the fantastic BBQ’s and summer parties we find ourselves either hosting or going to.

I mean, what’s better than sitting out under the stars, satisfied from a great meal, cocktail in hand, talking and laughing the night away? (Especially when the kids are all out of the pool and snuggled down with a movie, nodding off one by one…lol) Adult time!

How My Margarita with Chambord Recipe Came About

At the start of the summer, I was out for a couple of drinks at a Mexican place with some friends when I asked the bartender to pick out a drink for me…she handed me a Frozen Chambord Margarita and I was in Heaven! She said it was not on the menu, but she often made one for herself…she is one smart woman! I have had many Margarita’s but CHAMBORD??? Booyah!

I knew I had to have these babies in my life…and you know what, they are the drink of the Summer for me! Chambord Margaritas are cool and refreshing, and just so delicious…betcha can’t have just one!

What Is Chambord?

Chambord is a black raspberry liqueur. Many bars use it as a top layer to their drinks. While you can drink it straight it’s sweetness works better in a cocktail… like my yummy Chambord Margarita! Many people also mix it with dry gin, vodka or rum or tequila like I did.

Can You Make Frozen Chambord Margaritas In Larger Batches?

The answer is YES! I tinkered around with what to do, then made a HUGE batch, poured it into mason jars, and loaded up my freezer…I am set for a while anyway! The beautiful thing is…if folks drop by unexpectedly, or if you are just in the mood for an evening under the stars with your sweetie…they are there….just waiting for you!

For big parties…you have it all done…just grab a few out of the freezer, pass them around and plop half a strawberry in them….no fuss, no mess 🙂

I am a big fan of freezing drinks to have them ready at a moment’s notice…think strawberry daiquiri’s, Margarita’s, Sangria, vodka slushies, and lemonade for the kids – they are there ready for your company with no effort at all! And if you are looking for the best drink that isn’t frozen, you have to try my classic margarita pitcher recipe!

Other Refreshing Cocktails

Maybe margarita’s aren’t your thing? Not everyone enjoys tequila or Chambord or even frozen… here are a few of my other favorite yummy cocktails:

• Watermelon Vodka Cooler 
• Blackberry Mojito
• Sangria
• Peach Moonshine

• 1 1/2 TBS lime juice

Instructions

• In a large pot or bowl, mix all ingredients, whisk together until completely combined. Give it a taste and adjust to your liking.
• This will make enough to fill about 12 - 6 oz Mason jars. Fill just shy of the top, place the lid on and store in your freezer until ready to serve. Give it a stir with a spoon, add a half a straw and enjoy! You need 5 hours or more to allow these to set and become slushy...after that, they can stay in your freezer until you need them (or invite me over!)
