An Overview of the Cordials & Liqueurs Market in the U.S.
While they often fly under the radar compared to more rigidly defined categories like bourbon or Tequila, cordials & liqueurs were one of the top five spirits categories by volume in 2022. Over 27.8 million 9-liter cases of cordials & liqueurs were sold in the U.S. last year, according to Beverage Information Group.
Thanks to the rise of the Aperol Spritz and other trends, the category is expected to surpass 28 million cases sold by 2025. As this bartender-favorite category continues to expand, Park Street University has compiled a comprehensive overview of cordials & liqueurs for those interested in building a brand within the category.
