Interesting, Evin. So does this mean the basic idea behind "cordial" as an alcoholic beverage is that it is good for the heart?

Archaically, the word also referred to the heart. Someone asked me to use it in a sentence that way:

"The witch doctor made a grievous error in selected an herbal remedy for the chieftan; he had perscribed root of soulsbane thinking the ailment was renal, but it was actually cordial."
