Check the practical fit

Space
Needs one saucepan, citrus-prep area, and modest refrigerator space for the cooled cordial.
Skill
Use a tested refrigerated recipe and safe hot-syrup handling.
Maintenance
Keep refrigerated, label the use-by guidance, and make only the amount likely to be served.
Accessibility
Provide an easy-pour bottle, large-print ratio card, low-sugar alternative only from tested guidance, and stable glassware.
Sustainability
Use zest and juice efficiently, make a right-sized batch, and avoid single-use garnish picks.
Timing
Prepare within the tested freshness window and cool fully before bottling.
