Pomegranate Syrup
Make DIY grenadine like a pro bartender
There's a reason most bars make their own grenadine—and you should, too. Pomegranate syrup, aka grenadine, is a key ingredient for a wide range of cocktails, from the classic Jack Rose to Kir-style sparkling drinks. House-made grenadine, unlike the store-bought stuff, gives drinks a rosy hue and vibrant, fruity flavor. The orange-blossom water adds extra aromaticsbut can be omitted if you prefer.
