Monks

Cordials were said to be produced in ancient Egypt and Athens. Commercial production started in the Middle Ages when alchemists, physicians, and monks were searching for the "elixir of life." Many wek-known cordials were developed in this period, such as Benedictine and Chartreuse, both bearing the names of the monasteries where they were first developed.
