Viniq Cordials
Shimmery liqueur, poured and sold on Long Island for years.
The story behind Viniq
Viniq is a shimmery liqueur: a flavored grape and vodka blend with a light swirl of edible shimmer that catches the light when you pour it. That shimmer is the whole point. Shake the bottle, pour it into a chilled glass, and the drink glitters before it settles. The style sits in the cordial aisle rather than the wine rack, sweet and lower in alcohol than spirits, built for sipping cold or floating into a cocktail.
We have carried Viniq through its flavored variants for years, and customers come back for the look as much as the taste. Treat it as a sweet, low proof pour, not a wine and not a straight spirit. Serve it well chilled, keep the bottle capped, and shake before every pour. If you want something that lands on the table and gets a reaction, this is the bottle.

Which Viniq is right for you?
Viniq runs $19.99 to $20.99 for a 750mL bottle here, which is a fair price for a liqueur you pour in small measures. The original Shimmery sits at $20.99, while Glow and Ruby Shimmery are $19.99 each. At that money it is an easy bottle to keep cold for guests, and a simple one to add to a cordial shelf without thinking twice.
