Grenadine Syrup image

Making grenadine, the pomegranate-based simple syrup that was favored in many cocktails in the 19th and early 20th centuries, is really quite simple. And homemade is a vast improvement on the red-dyed sugar water in markets. Once you've rounded up the materials, 15 minutes' light work will make enough to last you.

Time 15m

Yield Makes 1 quart.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 quart pure pomegranate juice
1/2 pound demerara or other good raw sugar
1 tablespoon rose water (see Note)
1 tablespoon orange-flower water (see Note)

Steps:

  • Pour roughly half of the pomegranate juice into a saucepan. Heat over medium, taking care to remove from the flame before it boils. Stir in the sugar until dissolved, then add the other half-quart of juice, the rose water and orange flower water. Mix well and decant into a clean bottle to refrigerate. Adding 2 ounces or so of high-proof vodka or Everclear will allow it to keep longer.
