The Best Brands of Framboise Liqueur to Try Today

Chambord is probably one of the most legendary framboise liqueurs and often the first that comes to mind. This French liqueur is made from black raspberries, blackberries, Madagascan vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey, and cognac. The result is a complex, multi-layered spirit with a natural balance of sweet and tart notes. Chambord can be enjoyed neat or used as the base for drinks like the French Martini. Its deep purple colour and ornate bottle complete the luxurious appeal.

Another excellent example is Mathilde Framboise, made in France from fresh raspberries. The flavour is naturally rich and less sweet than other fruit liqueurs, allowing the raspberry to shine. This liqueur is perfect in both classic and modern drinks, delivering a genuine fruit-forward taste and true raspberry feel.

We had to mention our very own Raspberry Liqueur from Tayport Distillery.

Nothing artificial is added – just pure, fresh fruit and spirit.

This liqueur has been awarded a Great Taste 3-Star and the Golden Fork Award for Best Product in Scotland, as well as Gold at the IWSC, a testament to its natural excellence.
