What are they and what are they used for? What's the difference anyway?

Cordials & Liqueurs are an essential part of every bartender’s repertoire of knowledge. Without these “secondary” flavoring agents many, if not all popular cocktails couldn’t be prepared. Often the terms are used interchangeably, but there is a marked difference.

Here we’ll explain what they are and how these important ingredients are integral to proper beverage service. Interestingly, many of these beverages have a history going back a hundreds of years or more, yet no one spends the time to know and understand their value & necessity in constructing a well-balanced cocktail.

This course is aimed at fixing all that!
