Grenadine, a sweet-tart non-alcoholic sugar syrup, is used to enhance the flavor of many drinks and add color. It also gives them a tangy taste. It's typically made of pomegranate syrup, but other fruits can be used, such as blackcurrant, strawberry, and cherry.
Historically, grenadine is a natural pomegranate-based syrup used to enhance the flavor of a beverage, and give it a bright red or pink color. In modern times, grenadine often contains sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and citric acids to add sweetness to a drink.
You can try many different grenadine cocktail recipes, but you can also make some of them with ingredients that you will find in your own kitchen. You can make a grenadine syrup using fresh pomegranate juice, or you can use the bottled variety that is available at your local grocery store.
You will first need to decide on how much pomegranate to add to your 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. Be careful not to burn sugar and stir the mixture frequently. Once the syrup has boiled, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool before bottling it.
This is a beautiful and delicious way to use grenadine. It is an excellent drink to take to a party and is ideal for those people who don’t drink alcohol.
