The story

The story behind Potter's

Potter's cordials come out of Fairfield, California, where Frank-Lin Distillers Products produces and bottles the line. The Potter's name itself runs back to 1958, when Ernie Potter opened a liqueur house in Langley, British Columbia, and built his reputation on cordials before ever touching a bottle of spirits.

What sits on our shelf today is the modern American value line: neutral spirit, sugars, and flavor concentrates, no barrel time, no pretense. Lower proof than the European houses, lighter in body, built to be poured into a drink rather than sipped beside one. We have carried these bottles for years because they do the mixing job at a price that leaves room for the good stuff.

Buying guidance

Which Potter's is right for you?

Potter's Amaretto and Melon Liqueur both land at $6.99 for a full liter, which is the kind of number that makes a home bar possible. Triple Sec, Peach Schnapps and Sour Apple sit at $6.99 to $8.99, and Blue Curacao and Creme de Cacao Dark come in at $8.99. Nothing here breaks ten dollars, and every bottle is a liter. If you are stocking a bar cart for a party or replacing the sticky bottle in the back of the cabinet, buy Potter's online or walk in and grab it off the shelf in Commack.

Make the most of it

Potter's cocktails and pairings

Pour these into the drink, not beside it. Amaretto wants vanilla bean ice cream, almond pastry, or a fruit tart; the orange side wants citrus and salt.
Good to know

Potter's questions, answered

Who makes Potter's cordials?
Potter's cordials are produced and bottled by Frank-Lin Distillers Products in Fairfield, California. The Potter's name traces back to Ernie Potter's liqueur house, founded in 1958 in Langley, British Columbia.
What proof is Potter's Amaretto?
Potter's Amaretto is 15 percent alcohol by volume, or 30 proof. That is lower than many European amarettos, which makes it easy to pour into coffee, sours, and dessert drinks without overwhelming them.
What is a cordial?
A cordial is a sweetened distilled spirit flavored with fruit, nuts, herbs, or cream, usually lower in alcohol than straight spirits. Potter's cordials are neutral spirit based, unaged, and built to modify cocktails rather than be sipped neat.
Can you drink Potter's Triple Sec straight?
You can, but it is not the point. Potter's Triple Sec is a mixer at 30 proof, sweet and orange forward, and it does its best work in a Margarita, Cosmopolitan, or Sidecar where fresh citrus cuts the sugar.
Do you deliver Potter's cordials on Long Island?
Yes. We offer same-day or next-day delivery across Nassau and Suffolk, free local delivery over $250, and free curbside pickup at our Commack store. Spirits are local delivery and pickup, plus shipping to the states where it is legal, never shipped.
