The name changes. The sugar does not disappear.

Cordial Craft is a zero-sugar lime cordial and cocktail mixer that replaces lime juice and simple syrup in one balanced pour. Make margaritas, gimlets, daiquiris, highballs, and zero-proof drinks with fewer steps and less variation from one drink to the next.
Founded by a San Diego bartender. Built for modern cocktail service.
Instead of measuring fresh lime juice and simple syrup separately, Cordial Craft does both jobs in one consistent zero-sugar pour.
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.
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.
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.
The bar gets a faster build. The guest gets a clean, balanced margarita without the added sugar.
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.
For shaken cocktails, start with 2 oz spirit and 1 oz Cordial Craft. For sparkling highballs, use 2 oz spirit and 0.75 oz Cordial Craft, then top with soda water.
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.

That was the whole review. Across tastings, the first response we hear most often is, “It tastes clean.” “Fresh” is usually the next word.Beverage director and repeated tasting feedback Hospitality service

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.
