A short time, a wave of press features highlighted a royal family member. At first glance, these appeared to be about insignificant topics, froth and chatter, a hesitant interviewee in a country-style cap discussing his Sunday lunch routine. What was the purpose? Looking deeper, the actual motive emerged. He debuted a fruit syrup.

You might wonder, is there a market for a cordial? What does it represent? A method to flavor water. A beverage that's not quite a beverage. However, this overlooks the crucial aspect, and in way that is truly cringe-worthy. The reality is this isn't typical concentrate. This differs from the sort of poor quality cordial someone would release. In his words, devastatingly: "Look, we have existing brands. But they use processed ingredients. Why can't we make a premium British cordial?"

Astonishing revelation. You hadn't realized about this innovation. You weren't informed about the holy grail of the pure syrup. You hadn't understood what's on offer is a dedicated creator, product of a youth focused on cooking utensils, emotional dedication, fruit preparations, pursuing something that transcends cordial and into, well, perfection. At last it's available, post-development, the compromises of high-profile existence, the transformations required. The dream of a pure beverage.
