Lots of nice cordials around. Buderim ginger cordial. There are fancy schmancy elderflower cordials too. The Bickfords range is huge. My all time favorite is the Bickfords Lemon Lime & Bitters. I used to be a fan of Schweppes Lime cordial but I don't like the taste now - too fake sweetener and nothing like what it used to be 20 years ago.
You can make your own cordial by blitzing up a punnet of raspberries or blueberries with their own weight in water plus half to one third their weight in sugar (or a bit less), mix in a teaspoon of citric and/or tartaric acid. Bottle and keep in the fridge for up to a week. If it ferments, you now have alcoholic cordial .... Or go to YT for a recipie for raspberry shrub which is a vinegar based cordial and very nice indeed and possibly quite healthy. PS. Grenadine is a fancy very sweet pomegranate cordial. Kinda gluey, but essential for a proper tequila sunrise.
