How To Make Grenadine Syrup For Cocktails
Welcome Friends! Welcome back to the kitchen and "Cocktails 101" where we're going through all of the background stuff that you need to get ready for your first, or next cocktail party.
Today we're going to make real grenadine syrup, which is just pomegranate flavoured simple syrup. Grenadine serves a bunch of different purposes in cocktails; first the colour, that nice bright red colour that it brings, sweetness because essentially it's just a pomegranate flavoured simple syrup, and just that hint of pomegranate flavour.
Ingredients:
500 mL (2 cups) fresh pomegranate juice
500g (2 cups) Demerara sugar
60 mL (¼ cup) pomegranate molasses
5 mL (1 tsp) orange blossom water
15 mL (1 Tbsp) vodka
Method:
Combine pomegranate juice, sugar, molasses in a small pot over medium heat.
Stir while heating to dissolve sugars completely.
When sugar is fully dissolved, remove from heat and allow to cool to room temp.
Stir in Orange blossom water, and vodka.
Store in a sealable container in the fridge.
Will keep for at least 8 weeks.

My wife and I regularly make our own grenadine and other simple syrups for cocktails. I typically make my simple syrups in a pot on the stove like your recipe, but once I saw a grenadine recipe online that requires no heating element: just add sugar, pomegranate juice, and orange blossom water to a mason jar, tighten the lid, and shake for about 1-2 minutes. I didn't expect the sugar to completely dissolve, but it actually did. Honestly I haven't noticed much of a difference in the outcome of taste between the two methods. But in fact, I would say just shaking the mixture ended up tasting even more pomegranate-y and purer to me. One less pot to clean I guess.

@nellgwenn 4 года назад

Pousse-Cafe. I double dog dare you. Mint Julep. I actually steep the mint in the simple syrup to avoid having to mull it with the sugar. It makes it much easier. Aviation--You could talk about creme de violette Manhattan. I would like to know more about bitters. And the history behind the Luxardo Maraschino cherry, maraschino liqueur, and maraschino syrup I love grenadine in milk shakes.

@nelliebly Bitters are on the long term horizon - I've made them in the past with good success, now I'm refining the process. The Manhattan is in the works; the evolution of that cocktail over the years is pretty crazy.

@Carol-mh9ok 4 года назад

Moving from the Midwest to Europe....I had my first experience of having pomegranate trees. After numerous ways of trying to extract the juice, thought there has to be an easier way. Went to my neighbor who called her mom. Told me to take equal weights of pomegranate seeds and sugar. Put in glass jar. Cover with cheeses cloth secured with a rubber band. Stir daily. After approx 25-30 days the pips float to the top, leaving beautiful juice behind. In a glass i use about 1/4 juice and the rest club soda or water. Also when I make lemonade I just put a cup or so in with the juice and water.....perfect pink lemonade.

@user-dx8nj7qj2g 4 года назад

I've always heard to measure over the pot incase you spill it, so the idea of not measuring over the pot, incase you spill it, always seems odd, but I guess it makes sense, but honestly a tiny bit extra wont ruin a dish. although i did add like a teaspoon of vanilla extract to something I only wanted to add a quarter of a teaspoon to by accident, although luckily that was the perfect amount, I was making your lemon ice cream, and I recommend maybe adding a bit of vanilla extract next time you make it glen

I remember buying grenadine with my mom and dad at a discount store. It used to be like 2-3 dollars for a big bottle. I can’t find it now for that same price :/ my dad used to mix this orange flavored fiber mix with some grenadine. I still do it but I just shake my head when I see the price at Walmart. It’s about 5-6 dollars now for a tiny 12 oz bottle.

@RichardjLarby 4 года назад

This got me thinking about Rose's Lime Cordial - I always find I need to use LOTS to get the amount of lime flavour I want. However, I've found cheaper lime cordials pack a better punch. I've not had Rose's grenadine, Bol's is far more prevalent in Europe

@Paul_K_ 4 года назад

isn't there enough sugar already in the pomegranate juice that you should adjust the ratio for adding more?

@DavidChurch 4 года назад

Just wondering: is there any reason why you couldn't freeze some of the grenadine syrup to extend the shelf life? I suspect the sugar might separate out when it's thawed but whisking or heating it gently would probably bring it back together. Or could you add a little citric acid (1/2 tsp?) to the syrup as a preservative to extend the shelf life? Pomegranates already have a tart flavour component and it probably wouldn't be out of place in most cocktails which uses grenadine.

@GlenAndFriendsCooking 4 года назад

This batch has been in the fridge now for 4 months, and it's still fine. For the most part the sugar content is high enough that it may never go 'bad'. But I have to cover my arse with a low estimate.

@orazioraffermati5303 Год назад

Can you use sweeteners instead of sugar
