Cordial Relations
“For the first two or three weeks of lockdown I felt really depressed. With nothing to do I felt my days were so wasted. So, together with one of my partners we launched a line of cordials [sweet, fruit-flavoured, lightly acidic syrups] called ‘Spaceman’. We wanted to create something to mix with, so people could enjoy drinking spirits at home. Currently we have two recipes. The first is Venus Dude, a mixture of golden apple and yuzu, and the other is Galaxy X, with mixed fruit and strawberry. We use malic acid, so the taste is not too sharp, and we work with a lab to get the extract of the flavours.”
