Cordial

Cordial is sold in a concentrated form to be mixed with water for consumption. Many cordials are mixed with four parts water to be consumed, although some products are more concentrated and require greater dilution.

The category includes a range of flavours, with many made from real fruit concentrate and some available in low- and no-sugar options, as well as no added sugar.

Cordial can help consumers drink more water while other products in the category are increasingly catering for consumer demand for premium products.
  • Cordial is one of the oldest non-alcoholic beverages, first becoming popular in the 1850s
  • Many Australians drink cordial as it helps them to consume more water and stay hydrated
  • Cordial is available in unsweetened, non-sugar sweetened and sugar-sweetened options.
