Cordial is a concentrated, fruit-flavoured syrup that is mixed with water to make a drink. Because it is sold in concentrated form, consumers can adjust the strength and flavour to suit their taste preferences.
Cordials are available in a wide range of flavours and may be made with real fruit juice or fruit concentrate. They also come in a variety of formulations, including regular, low- or no-sugar, and no-added-sugar options, giving consumers more choice to suit different preferences and lifestyles.
