How it is made

Grenadine is typically made by boiling pomegranate juice with sugar and water until it thickens into a syrup. Some commercial versions may use artificial flavors and colors, but traditional grenadine is made from real pomegranate juice.

History

The origins of grenadine date back to the 19th century, derived from the French word 'grenade,' meaning pomegranate. It was initially made from pomegranate juice and became popular in cocktails during the Prohibition era in the United States as a way to add flavor and color to drinks without alcohol.

In cocktails

Bartenders use grenadine to add sweetness and color to cocktails such as the Tequila Sunrise and Shirley Temple. It can be poured directly into drinks or used as a layering agent to create visually stunning cocktails. When serving, a small amount can dramatically enhance the overall flavor profile of a drink.

Worth knowing

Grenadine is often mistaken for cherry syrup due to its color and sweetness, but its distinct flavor comes from pomegranate.
