Dilute a fruit cordial drink using the ratio on the cordial’s label. Add the cordial to cold water, taste it, and adjust with more water if it is too strong; different products need different proportions.
A fruit cordial drink can be refreshing, but it often contains added sugar and does not provide the fibre of whole fruit. For everyday hydration, choose water more often and treat cordial as an occasional flavored drink.
It can be: the sugar in a fruit cordial drink depends on the syrup and how much water you add. Using less cordial makes the drink less sweet, but it does not make a sugary cordial sugar-free.
No. A fruit cordial drink is usually made by diluting a fruit-based syrup, while fruit juice is extracted from fruit. Cordial generally does not provide the fibre found in whole fruit.
Yes, sparkling water works well in a fruit cordial drink and gives it fizz. Pour the cordial into the glass first, then add sparkling water gently to reduce foaming and adjust the strength to taste.
Mix fruit cordial with cold drinking water to make a fruit cordial drink. To make a homemade version from scratch, cook fruit with water and sugar, strain the syrup, then dilute it before serving.
Refrigerate a prepared fruit cordial drink in a clean, covered container, especially if it will not be served straight away. Store the undiluted cordial according to its label, since its storage instructions may differ.
A fruit cordial drink contributes fluid, but it is not the best everyday replacement for water because it can add sugar. Choose plain water for routine hydration and have cordial when you want a flavored drink.
Yes, you can freeze a fruit cordial drink in a freezer-safe container, leaving room for expansion. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir before serving, since the flavor may separate or become uneven while frozen.
The terms often describe a similar idea: concentrated fruit syrup diluted with water. “Squash” is commonly used in the UK for a non-alcoholic concentrate, while “cordial” can refer to a sweet syrup or the drink made from it.

A fruit cordial drink is made by diluting sweet fruit syrup with water; its flavour and strength depend on the fruit and how much syrup is used. Cordial traditions vary by country, and this general drink is not tied to one specific regional recipe.
It is usually served chilled, with meals or at gatherings. In the UK and elsewhere, cordial is also commonly mixed at home to suit individual taste. Expect a light, water-like texture and a distinctly sweet fruit flavour. Its energy comes almost entirely from carbohydrate: it provides 9.5 g per 100 g and no protein or fat. Add extra water if you prefer a less sweet drink, and serve it alongside plain water when offering a range of drinks.
