Recipe Notes

Pistachio Cordial 

If you have hard time finding the Dumante pistachio liqueur or are reluctant to spend the money to get it, then try this homemade pistachio cordial we made a few mouths back. It is a great substitution for the liqueur in this cocktail and a fantastic sweetener to add to any dessert cocktail or a cup of coffee in the morning.
