How it is made

Grenadine is traditionally made from pomegranate juice, which is boiled down with sugar to create a thick syrup. Some commercial versions may use cherry juice or artificial flavors to mimic the taste and color of pomegranate. The syrup is typically bright red and has a viscous texture.

History

The term 'grenadine' comes from the French word for pomegranate, 'grenade'. Historically, grenadine was made from pomegranate juice, and it has been used in cocktails since the 19th century. Its popularity surged during the Prohibition era in the United States, as bartenders sought to create flavorful non-alcoholic drinks.

In cocktails

Bartenders use grenadine to add sweetness and color to cocktails. It is commonly used in drinks like the Tequila Sunrise, Shirley Temple, and Sea Breeze. When using grenadine, it is often poured slowly to create a layered effect in the drink. It can also be used in non-alcoholic beverages, such as sodas and fruit punches.

Worth knowing

Grenadine is often mistaken for being a cherry-flavored syrup due to its sweetness and color, but authentic grenadine is primarily pomegranate-based.
