History
Grenadine has its origins in the French word 'grenade,' meaning pomegranate. Traditionally, grenadine was made from the juice of pomegranates, but over time, many commercial versions have shifted to using other fruit juices, primarily cherry. Monin, a French brand established in 1912, has become renowned for its high-quality syrups, including their grenadine, which maintains the classic flavor profile.
In cocktails
Bartenders use Monin Grenadine syrup to add sweetness and a vibrant color to cocktails. It is commonly used in drinks such as the Tequila Sunrise, Sea Breeze, and Shirley Temple. When using grenadine, it is often poured slowly to create a layered effect in the glass. For non-alcoholic options, it can be mixed with soda or lemonade for a refreshing beverage.
Worth knowing
Grenadine syrup is often mistakenly thought to be flavored with cherry, but traditional grenadine is made from pomegranate.
