What Is The Difference Between Cordials And Liqueurs?
What is the difference between cordials and liqueurs? It's a question that many people have asked themselves at one point or another. The answer to this question is not always easy to explain, but it can be done. Cordials are often served after dinner as an after-dinner drink, while liqueurs are more typically found in mixed drinks. Liqueur, coming from the French word "liqueur," which means "to dissolve," refers to any liquor that contains fruit flavourings or other flavourings added through infusion or maceration, especially in fruit liqueurs such as strawberry liqueurs and raspberry liqueurs. Most of these infusions come from fruits like peaches, pears, oranges, and strawberries. However, many different types of fruit flavours exist.

TAKE FIVE Hard Seltzer Review
Isn’t this something we always tell our kids? Especially when encouraging them to mop up the green section of their dinner plate, in our endlessly optimistic, parental belief that one day our children will shower us in love for adorning their plate with the last Brussel Sprout? So, why is it then, as adults, we don’t always practice what we preach? It’s a common yet unexplained sight in a grocery store when you see a sampling table offering a free bite or sip of something to passing shoppers as they go about their day yet so many of those shoppers won’t stop and try what’s being offered to them for free! Why not? My unsubstantiated conclusion is that too many of us get stuck in our ways and stick to what we know and what we know we like but following that path forever means we’re likely to miss out on something new, something exciting and something, potentially, outer worldly delicious! Take the time to try folks! You just never know…….having said that, with so many of us opting to buy online these days, ‘try before you buy’ isn’t really a viable option so how can we experiment and not worry about it being a complete waste of our hard earned cash?
