My short but sweet review
The two cordials I received were both tasty and refreshing, each giving my cocktails the much-needed kick of flavour and taking them to the next level of tastiness.
Each of the fruity profiles came through more than I thought they would – the lemonade being tart and sharp, and the granadilla being quite sweet (although sugar-free) and smooth.
I did, however, find that I needed to use a little more of the granadilla cordial (more than the recommended dilution ration), but that might be because I like things more on the sweet side and a stronger than most.
Overall, they were both great
