Cocktails with Strawberry cordial
Strawberry cordial is a non-alcoholic concentrated strawberry syrup, diluted before serving.
How it's used
It brings sweetness, strawberry and color in one pour, so a lemonade or spritz needs no separate syrup and fresh fruit. Read the label before you pour. A British-style cordial is made to be diluted many times over; a bar cordial is poured by the spoonful.
Substitutes for Strawberry cordial
Another strawberry cordial
Use the same measure, as long as the dilution ratio on the bottle matches what you need.
Raspberry cordial
Swap it in straight. The drink turns out great, simply trading strawberry for raspberry.
Like Monin. It packs less acid, so start with a slightly smaller measure and stir in a barspoon of lemon juice to balance things out.
Storage
A sealed commercial bottle keeps for months and wants the fridge once open. Homemade lasts a couple of weeks refrigerated, and the first sign it has turned is a faint fizz, not a smell.
