On this episode of How to Drink, I’m making Grenadine! Grenadine is a commonly used syrup that is characterized by being tart and sweet with a red color to it. This is an easy syrup to make and great to have around the bar when needed! Hope you enjoy this syrup as much as I do! Cheers!

1.5 Cups of Sugar
1.5 Cups of Pomegranate Juice

@corvuslividus677 5 лет назад

Nice recipe! Here in Russia it's quite difficult to get molasses, so I boiled and evaporated 200 ml of fresh juice to make it thicker, and instead of orange water, I put several orange peels while syrop boiling. Don't know if the taste is very different from that you got, but it's damn good.

@Zzyzzyzzs 2 года назад

If you have access to any central Asian, Iranian or Turkish grocers or supermarkets, or if you can have it shipped to you, do try and get orange flower water. Orange flower is not the same as orange fruit or peel at all, it's a very different, floral aroma. I have no doubt that what you made was very good, but it will be a very different thing to the actual desired final product. On the bright side, you've probably made something new and awesome. Hope it goes well in something!

When I was a kid in the early 80s, my mom was a bartender and back then they didn't complain too much about kids being in the bar as long as it wasn't busy and the kid didn't sit at the bar. My mom used to make me Shirley Temples or a Roy Rogers cocktail all the time. I always thought grenadine was cherry juice.

@ghostbirdofprey 6 лет назад

"There's a lot of bad grenadine out there" Like what 90% of the bars around here buy. I know far too many people who are convinced it's cherry flavoring even after I explain what grenade means.

It's funny you mention the "red" flavor. I actually make a syrup out of fresh raspberry juice and rosewater that I just call "Raz" syrup, and I like it so much that I use it a lot. It's gotten to the point that I just associate the color "red" with that flavor. It doesn't hurt that both raspberries and roses are directly associated with the color red...even though non-red varieties of both of those things exist.

If you are still needing a recipe for pomegranate molasses these years later, I recommend mixing 1/4 pomegranate molasses with a 1/4 cup tomato paste and a tablespoon and a half of seven spice (one part cinnamon, cumin, coriander, ground cardamom, black pepper, half part each cloves and nutmeg) and coating a couple pounds of catfish nuggets in that. Cook those nuggets under the broiler on a parchment so they won't stick, and pile them into flour tortillas with chopped raw onion, sliced radish and shredded lettuce. Top it off crema or some other cooling sauce of your choice and enjoy.

@ShinKyuubi 4 года назад

Any recommendations for a good premade syrup? I've never used the stuff and I'd rather try it before going through all the trouble of making a homemade batch to see if it's worth it to pay extra for all the ingredients I'll need (I live in the south) The most interaction I've had with Pomegranate is PomWonderful (Honey Green Tea is awesome) and once eons ago in the mist of ages I had a history teacher in middle school who when we studied Greek myths he let us try pomegranate seeds like the story of Hades and Persephone. So..yeah considering I can get a premade bottle for under 20 bucks while it'd be around 50 bucks to get the stuff to make my own...yeah...I'd rather know if there is a good premade grenadine to try.

@ZoraZoldier 3 года назад

Bit late but if it's anything like other simple syrups (and I don't see why it shouldn't be) it just needs enough heat to melt the sugar completely, not even neccessarily boiling. In fact, if you want to be fussy about your cocktails you should boil it as little as possible since it will concentrate the sweetness and you want to know exactly how much sugar you are adding to a cocktail with a certain volume of syrup if you're specific about the balance. :)

@cgbspender1113 5 лет назад

Yeah you have to cut Pomegranate open under water. You just place them in a bowl and the spills are contained, the wax floats and the nettles sink to the bottom. After that juicing is easy.

@Slickjitz 7 лет назад

I like the vids where you show how to make syrups, but how do you keep them from spoiling? Add a bit of Everclear to sterilize? And where can you find the bottles and quick pour tops?

@howtodrink 7 лет назад

I don't seem to have any trouble with them going bad as long as they stay in the fridge. I've done the everclear thing in the past, and I think it made it into one of the syrup videos, but it really is so little ABV that it can't be having any real effect. I'd say that making sure your bottles are super clean before you pour anything into them is probably really important. The bottles I use I found at the back of a dusty shelf at my local supermarket for about 1$ each, but they're pretty standard glass bottles, you can find things just like them on amazon. The speed pours are standard speedpours, I think I bought mine at Cocktail Kingdom.

@WH40KHero 2 года назад

One tip when handling pomegrenades: DO NOT cut them open aka slice them in half You make a shallow cut into the outer shell and then crack them open. You then seperate the seeds from the white stuff. The white stuff is bitter and you dont want that anywhere in your juice. Then you can juice them using a press.

@notahotshot 3 года назад

A year late, but I imagine it's just as a flavor boost. Pomegranate molasses is just pom juice, sugar, and a small amount of lemon juice reduced to a syrup. About 8 parts juice to one part sugar.

I`m calling on the good graces of Greg to look at a comment for one of his three year old videos. I live in Japan and it is pretty non-cost effective to try to make from scratch just cuz of import fees or lack of availabilityto even POM juice... The two big brands that are available on amazon are Darbo or Monin... I know both have sugar listed as the first ingredient. But maybe you`ve heard reviews or tried yourself? I have seen some pomegranite syrups that seem to have more pomegranite juice listed but I kind of assume they dont have the orange flower water (not like these syrups do anyway..)
