Chambord is actually made with black raspberries. Also a little too sweet on its own to use in this drink.

Shrubs are among my favorite non-alcoholic summer drinks in general. Shrubs and switchel (which is molasses, ginger, cider vinegar, and water).

Switchel sounds worth giving a try. Do you have a particular recipe to recommend?

[xiphias]

Not really. You can find some recipes online to give you a starting point for proportions. I use powdered ginger, most of the time, 'cause it's easier. It's good to let it sit for a day before drinking.
