A refreshing basil Chambord spritz featured at SAVEUR magazine's launch party, blending rich berry liqueur with crisp prosecco and fresh basil for a balanced, aromatic cocktail.
This basil Chambord spritz, which was dubbed the SAVEUR Spritz at the magazine’s Spring/Summer 2026 issue launch party at Angelo’s Restaurant in Providence, is a vibrant twist on the classic Italian aperitivo—built to feel both familiar and just a little unexpected.
The rich berry depth of Chambord brings a lush sweetness that’s balanced by the crisp, clean bubbles of prosecco, while fresh basil adds an herbal lift that keeps the drink from leaning too heavy. Gently shaking the basil with the liqueur helps release its oils, giving the cocktail a more aromatic, garden-fresh quality without overpowering the fruit. For best results, use very fresh basil and a well-chilled prosecco. Do not over-shake—you want fresh basil aroma, not bitterness.
If needed, you can swap Chambord for another high-quality blackberry or raspberry liqueur, but the signature richness and color are what make this spritz stand out. Featured in “SAVEUR Returns to Rhode Island for This Year’s Food Festival Finale” by Madison Trapkin.
