Grenadine Syrup is a sweet, tart non-alcoholic liquid that can be used to give drinks a touch of tanginess and color. It's typically made of pomegranate syrup, but other fruits can be used, such as blackcurrant, strawberry, and cherry.
Historically, grenadine was a natural pomegranate syrup that was used to enhance and accentuate the natural flavors of a drink, giving it a red or pink hue. In modern times, grenadine often contains sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and citric acids to add sweetness to a drink.
There are many grenadine-based cocktails that you can try. However, there are some that you can easily make with a few ingredients found in your kitchen. You can either make your own grenadine using fresh pomegranate or buy the bottle variety at your local supermarket.
Decide how much pomegranate liquid you want to mix into the syrup. You can choose to use just half a cup of the juice, or you can go with all of it if you like a lot of pomegranate flavor in your drink.
Once you've figured out how much pomegranate juice to add, it's time to simmer the juice with sugar in a small saucepan until it has reached the desired consistency. You'll have to stir frequently and be careful not to burn the sugar. Remove the syrup from the heat once it has boiled and let it cool before you bottle it.
