The French Sparkle features Chambord Flavored Vodka, which is exactly what it sound like: all the taste of the popular black raspberry liqueur in the lighter form of vodka. It is a fantastic option for getting the unmistakeable flavor of Chambord in any vodka cocktail where it may be fitting (which is many).
This cocktail takes that notion of substituting almost literally. It is similar to both Champagne and Chambord and Vodka and Champagne (i.e. Elit Midnight Millionaire). You get the flavor of the former and the airiness of the latter with a touch of mango nectar to sweeten things up a bit. It is a delightful drink designed for the meant-to-impress occasions, though for all its sparkle, you get the satisfaction of knowing it's really one of the easiest drinks to concoct.
