Mild Ginger Cordial
A tier
Mild ginger cordial is aromatic more than fiery: enough ginger to taste, safe for children and for a gin that already has spice. It can taste of ginger-ale candy if the extract is poor. Dilute as a soft drink. It will not stand in for hot ginger in a punch that needs heat.

Milder ginger cordials were packed for household squash that children would drink.
Cafe ginger-lemon cordials often sat in this mild band.
Mild and hot ginger cordials were labelled separately in better shops.
