Zero-proof
Founded by a San Diego bartender. Built for modern cocktail service.
Zero sugar
Lime, sweetness, and body in a zero-sugar cordial.
Replaces lime + syrup
One pour replaces two separate ingredients.
2:1 cocktail system
Start with two parts spirit and one part Cordial Craft.
Fewer build steps
Less measuring, less prep, fewer variables.
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.
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. Monin’s current Organic Agave Nectar label lists 6 g total and added sugar per 0.25 fl oz, so a 0.75 oz pour contributes 18 g sugar before the lime juice or any other sugar-containing ingredient is counted.
18 g
of total and added sugar from 0.75 oz Monin Organic Agave Nectar, based on the manufacturer’s current online label.
Agave’s health halo can be misleading. A lower-glycemic reputation does not change a product label’s calories, Total Sugars, or Added Sugars. The measured pour and current label determine what the ingredient contributes.
About the comparison
The example uses Monin Organic Agave Nectar’s current online Nutrition Facts: 25 calories and 6 g Total Sugars, all added, per 0.25 fl oz. Multiplying three labeled servings gives 75 calories and 18 g sugar for 0.75 oz. Monin advises checking the physical bottle because online information may change.
A skinny margarita that earns the name.
- 2 oz tequila
- 0.75 oz Cordial Craft
- Approximately 131 calories and 0 g sugar for the build shown
- No separate lime or syrup
- Shake hard with ice and serve
The bar gets a faster build. Both estimates use the same 80-proof unflavored tequila with 0 g sugar: about 214 calories and 18.5 g sugar for the agave recipe shown, or about 131 calories and 0 g sugar for the Cordial Craft recipe shown. Different ingredients or measures change those totals. Alcohol still contributes calories.
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.
The 2:1 Build
Measure. Shake. Serve.
Formula:
For a shaken base, use two parts spirit to one part Cordial Craft: 1.5 oz + 0.75 oz, or 2 oz + 1 oz. Shake with ice, then serve. For a sparkling highball, use 2 oz spirit + 0.75 oz Cordial Craft, then top with soda water.
Simple to Use
One reliable cocktail ratio for home bars and service teams.
Start with a two-to-one shaken base, then follow the full recipe for fruit, liqueurs, and other additions. For a sparkling highball, use 2 oz spirit and 0.75 oz Cordial Craft, then top with soda water.
Cocktail Possibilities
One bottle. A full cocktail menu.
From skinny margaritas and gimlets to rum drinks, spritzes, and zero-proof refreshers, the same bottle moves easily from shaken cocktails to tall sparkling drinks.
