We went out to dinner with friends last month (extraordinary enough), and the Gladstone Tavern had a fabulous and gorgeous red winter cocktail that is going to be our standard this holiday season.
1 part cassis
1 part pomegranate juice
top with sparkling wine
I had some Norwegian berry liquor in the house (don't ask) that made an acceptable substitute for the cassis, so I'm sure Chambord or any other would do fine. Today I did buy the real stuff for company, though.
I'm thinking of serving it with a fresh raspberry in the glass, or maybe on the rim. Might also be interesting with cranberry juice.
Cheers!

sounds interesting... i wont ask about the berry liquor.
i make something i like to call 'kiddie drink' for my friends that are pregnant. i sort of made it up when i was pregnant with maia and i've been mixing it since for my non-alcoholic friends. it's equal parts lemon juice (i use crystal light since there's always some kicking around the hosue), cran juice and ginger beer (the ginger-ier the better)... and it looks great on a martini glass and since there's mixing involved they feel like they are drinking with the big boys.
Also sounds like a nice alternative to a Shirley Temple!
