Lime juice cordial: Missing

Army Special uses equal amounts of vodka and gin with a larger measure of lime cordial. Gin contributes herbal aroma, while the cordial supplies both sweetness and citrus acidity. Crushed ice is added directly to the drink, so stirring creates the dilution needed to soften the concentrated cordial and spirits.
