Spiced Orange Cordial

This is one of my cocktail cordials. It’s great on its own or during Christmas as a substitute for the Swedish Glögg. A Swedish version of Glühwein which I honestly never liked at all!

To make this into a boozy cocktail – try one of the following:

2 cl brandy or dark rum, per serving (1,5 dl)
2 cl tequila, shaken with ice, per serving
a cava with apricot notes or champagne (⅓ of a champagne flute, per serving)
