Something different to our usual elderflower cordial and champagne that’s a gnat’s heavier on the alcohol.
Originally cordials were made from wild fruits or leaves and flowers, boiled with honey, and later alcohol was added to the mixture to preserve the syrup. These alcoholic drinks were medicinal. Today the recipes do not contain alcohol anymore, and honey has been replaced by sugar. Also called squash, cordial is…

I found this recipe in an old Easy Living Magazine I was flicking through last week - it was featured as an idea for homemade gormet picnic foods. Whilst I have no upcoming picnic plans I was inspired to give this recipe a go - I'm not a massive fan of fizzy soft drinks so I mostly drink water, cordials/squash and tea whilst at home. My family gets through numerous bottles of Robinson's orange squash and Bottlegreen's elderflower cordial! So trying to make my own cordial really appealed to me for a bit of a change. I'd never made a homemade cordial before, and didn't realise how easy it is to do. The cordial tasted delicious and my family loved it - it wasn't long before it was all gone! I really liked the passion fruit flavour too - when I looked in my local Sainsbury's store there weren't any similar flavours to this, so it was definately more of an exotic flavour to the standard orange squash I normally drink! Recipe - Passion Fruit & Orange Cordial Makes about 750ml Ingredients: 375g sugar (I used white caster) 6 oranges 3 passion fruit Method: 1. Add the sugar and 375ml of water to a saucepan. Add the zest of one of the oranges to the pan and bring the mixture to the boil - simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring every so often to dissolve the sugar. 2. Squeeze the juice from all the oranges and scoop out the pulp from the 3 passion fruit. Add this to the saucepan and allow the mixture to cool. 3. Once cool, strain the mixture and put it into a bottle. I didn't have anything of a suitable size, so used a couple of empty gin bottles that my mum normally uses for making sloe gin for christmas! You can dilute the cordial with either still or sparkling water - it will keep for up to 5 days in a sealed bottle in the fridge. Make sure you give the bottle a bit of a shake before each serving, then dilute to your preferred strength. Lisa x Tweet

When it comes to a sweet finish I've got a wonderful recipe for a Raspberry Cordial that will knock your socks off (ages 21 and over!)
Sip in cordial glasses or dribble over vanilla ice cream. Probably my easiest liqueur recipe and very good. Since it's made with DRIED apricots, it can be made year-round. Years ago I gave this a couple times in a monogrammed pocket flask as a 21st birthday present. Cooking time is actually infusion time (at 5-7 days, it's a relatively short time for a fruit-flavored liqueur).

Have you ever made a fruit liqueur or cordial? I never have, but I recently came into possession of two very nice quince fruits, and I wanted to hold on to their flavor as long as possible. We have had poor luck with quince, here at The Kitchn, and I wanted to do something long-lasting and relatively foolproof.So when I came across a recipe for quince ratafia in Jane Grigson’s Good Things, I was intrigued.
Keep lilac season going all year long with this floral liqueur!
I have taken the photos for this post ages ago, and I would have waited a bit longer if I had not seen KyotoFoodie's blogpost about Quince liquor. I find it interesting that some recipes are rather universal. In France, sour cherries are commonly used for making liquor ('cerises a l'eau de vie', my favorite!), and although we had quince in the garden, we never made liquor with it, instead we made jelly and paste with it. However I have tasted some Quince eau de vie in Strasbourg, and I consider it my favorite alcohool, it is so tasty!! So in this post, I'll give you a recipe to make your own cointrea. You need - 1 ORGANIC orange (or a few kumkat or a few smaller citrus) - 1 preserve jar - strong alcohol (eau de vie) - sugar (1/3rd of the volume of alcohol) - 1 bit of kitchen string Pour the alcohool in the jar with the sugar, then suspend the fruit(s) above the alcohol - without direct contact - then place in a dark place for 3 months, that's it! You can use the fruit(s) cut in little pieces in crepes or pancakes, it is delicious!
