What One Pour Replaces

The traditional lime-and-syrup build, simplified.

Instead of measuring fresh lime juice and simple syrup separately, Cordial Craft does both jobs in one consistent zero-sugar pour.

Lime Juice Citrus structure and cocktail brightness.
Simple Syrup Sugar sweetness and syrup body.
Cordial Craft A complete lime cocktail base in one measured zero-sugar pour.
The Skinny Margarita Problem

Skinny should mean something.

Many skinny margaritas do not remove the sugar. They simply replace orange liqueur or simple syrup with agave. A common half-ounce pour of agave syrup can add about 16 grams of sugar. Depending on the classic recipe it replaces, the “skinny” version can contain just as much sugar, or more.

About 16 g of sugar from a common 0.5 oz agave pour before any other sugar-containing ingredient is added.

Agave’s health halo can be misleading. Published reviews describe agave syrup as predominantly fructose, commonly at least 60% of its sugars, while HFCS-55 is 55% fructose. The name may sound lighter, but the pour is still sugar syrup.

About the comparison

A half-ounce equals one tablespoon. The 16-gram example reflects common agave nutrition labels; brands and recipes vary. The fructose comparison uses published reviews describing agave syrup as predominantly fructose, commonly at least 60% of its sugars, and the FDA definition of HFCS-55 as 55% fructose.

Illustrative Agave Build

The name changes. The sugar does not disappear.

  • 2 oz tequila
  • 1 oz fresh lime
  • 0.5 oz agave syrup
  • About 16 g sugar from the agave pour
  • Three separate measurements
Cordial Craft Build

A skinny margarita that earns the name.

  • 2 oz tequila
  • 1 oz Cordial Craft
  • Zero-sugar two-ingredient build
  • No separate lime or syrup
  • Shake hard with ice and serve

The bar gets a faster build. The guest gets a clean, balanced margarita without the added sugar.

Built From Lime Character

Lime flavor is more than squeezed juice.

Crafted with real lime zest and a modern technique inspired by oleo-citrate, Cordial Craft captures the aroma and body of lime zest, not just its acidity. The result is a shelf-stable zero-sugar cordial built for real cocktails.

In practical terms: Cordial Craft is not conventional bottled lime juice. It is a modern lime cordial built to do the job of fresh lime and simple syrup with less prep and less variation from drink to drink.

Acidity Lime-bright tension gives the drink a clean cocktail snap.
Aroma Fresh lime oils add a clean citrus lift.
Body Texture and roundness keep the drink from tasting thin.
Balance Sweetness, acidity, and body come together in proportion.

Hospitality Revenue Example

The easiest upsell is the drink your guest already wanted.

When a guest orders a hard seltzer, vodka soda, tequila soda, or ranch water, they are already asking for something light and low in sugar. Cordial Craft gives the bar a simple way to turn that order into a full zero-sugar cocktail.

Standard Order Baseline
$8.00

Hard Seltzer

A simple low-sugar order often sold as a single canned or bottled beverage.

Cordial Craft Upgrade Premium Pour
$16.50

Zero-Sugar Craft Cocktail

A full cocktail price for a drink that still feels light and takes little extra time to build.

More than double the revenue from that converted order. Example based on an $8 hard seltzer converted to a $16.50 Cordial Craft cocktail charge.
2.06x
Vodka soda upgrades follow the same logic. Example based on a $10 vodka soda converted to a $16.50 premium zero-sugar cocktail.
1.65x
750 mL service format Coming soon for bars, hotels, events, and batch service.

These examples use real hospitality price points, but results vary by venue, menu, staff, and guest behavior.

Who It’s For

Built for home cocktails and hospitality service.

At home, Cordial Craft replaces two ingredients. Behind the bar, it cuts prep and keeps the drink the same from one shift to the next.

For home cocktail lovers

The Bottom Line

Skip the unnecessary sugar. Keep the cocktail.

Cordial Craft replaces lime juice and simple syrup with one balanced zero-sugar pour. Use it at home, behind the bar, or anywhere you want a proper lime cocktail without the extra prep.
