Sweet Cordial Liquors

Those sweet liquors or aperitifs, as some call them, are usually made from fruit extracts, essences, or nectar and then distilled, or alcohol is added along with sugars. The alcohol concentration does not exceed 20% and usually is about 12% ABV, and as for sugar content, it reaches 100 to 200 grams per Liter.

The bottle design is sleek and rounded and is embossed and engraved as well in a unique way, so when light shines on it, the extraordinary color of the contents appears as a flying ghost inside the bottle.

To me, the most difficult part of the project was the fruit paintings/sketches, as I am not that good with a paint brush or even know how to handle water colors, and had a friend help in that, who prefers to stay anonymous, as she believes that she could have done better if she had more time.
