I followed the recipe on food.com.

vodka, Chambord, pineapple juice

I followed the recipe for the standard French Martini, using the ingredients listed above, but it turns out, I don’t really like Chambord. I SHOULD like it, it is sweet and fruity. But there is a taste in there that rubs me the wrong way.

The photo here is of the second French Martini I made, with creme de cassis in place of Chambord. Creme de cassis is a liqueur made of black currants. (Chambord is a raspberry liqueur.) The creme de cassis gave me a purple cocktail, and it turned the foam from the pineapple juice pink! So it was pretty, for sure, but it also tasted much better.
