Cordials, also known as liqueurs, are sweetened spirits infused with flavors from fruits, herbs, spices, flowers, or nuts. They are typically lower in alcohol content than spirits and are known for their rich, often creamy textures and deep, complex flavors. Cordials are enjoyed on their own, used as an ingredient in cocktails, or served as a dessert accompaniment, offering a versatile option for enhancing a variety of drinks and dishes.
