The Chambord Chapter Eight Croquet Games

London is full of fun, quirky things to do at the weekend - you just have to keep your eyes open. A few weeks ago I was invited along with some friends to take part in The Chambord Chapter Eight Croquet Games. Sadly it's finished but keep your eyes peeled for future events.

If you're anything like my family, the raspberry liquor Chambord is always in the drinks cabinet as soon as the festive season hits. The Chambord Royale is a regularly poured out as soon as guests arrive. But it's too special to just be saved for one season!

The brand is keen to stress that a Royale is not the only cocktail that can be made using the liquor. Luckily we got to sample a fair few - in between being sadly beaten by the boys at flamingo croquet! My favourite was by far the delicious Chapter Eight Cocktail. Consisting of Chambord shaken with gin and fresh grapefruit paired with a delicate hint of rose and raspberries. Definitely one I'll be trying to attempt making at home!

After quite a few cocktails, we lined our stomach with an incredible duck confit burger from Le Bun. They had amazingly infused Chambord into the dish, giving it a delicious sweet, sharp taste. I'm definately going to hunt down them down again!

Thank you for such a fun afternoon Chambord!
