"yes, police, there's a man wearing a fedora and a mask stealing my pomegranates... And someone else is filming him"

“I purchased fresh organic pomegranate” 💀🤨

“It’s grenadine,for my ice cream treats!”

Vlad I just have to say your production quality has gone so far up recently and I’m be found your videos super easy to binge without getting boring. Love how you make your videos comedic aswell as knowledgeable. Cheers

The most inconspicuous disguise 👌 No one would suspect a thing 😂

I had to look twice as I thought the caption was "Why you shouldn't buy Grenade"

thank you for syrup and non-alcohol cocktail recipes💓🕊

I always thought grenadine was just that sugary cherry juice that maraschino cherries come in so I always added that to my Shirley Temples, turns out i was just making my own cherry limeade this whole time

I know I've seen these transitions 8,000 times at this point. But your transitions from showing the 'original fruit' to the "diced" of it is always so fucking smooth. I love it. I guess there's a reason you are called the 'slick' bartender.

Just like we were purchasing fresh organic apples back in childhood times)

I buy 100% pomegranate juice to make the syrup. It's about 90% as good as what you made but without the mess and the risk of arrest.

Everything in your videos is satisfying to watch

This looks amazing! Grenadine syrup is really good and it was fun to watch this stuff being made at home. Pomegranates are my favorite fruit and it’s cool yo see them being used for something special.

it's grenadine, for my ice cream treat. -ice cream man (movie)

The way I make it is put 1 cup pom juice and 1 cup sugar in a shaker, a few small mandarin peels, and a barspoon of everclear. Shake till all sugar is dissolved, (about 5 minutes) and strain into a bottle. It comes out great. This lasts about 6 months in the fridge, but it's CRUCIAL that you add the everclear, because it keeps it alive longer.

I am glad to see that other people use pomegranate because it is my favorite food

can’t get over how much i love your vids

Gotta say, thank you, I was looking for something non-alcoholic to make for myself, and alcoholic for others. Much appreciated

The “enjoi” at the end of his vids always make me smile lol love the content 👍

Your soothing voice can rock me to sleep anytime

I have deseeded and juiced pomegranates before. Your smooth editing does not fool me.

I'm From Albania and we had pomegranate that grew in the wild by itself in some parts of Albania. They were a little smaller than the normal pomegranate but with a sour aftertaste which I prefer. At the end of there season my grandma always took lots of these fruits made syrup for us to drink during the year. This metod consisted in separating the seeds than putting then in a small jar with approximately 30 or 40 grams of sugar (4 5 spoons) after this u have to close the jar and leave it in a dark place to ferment for about 3 weeks 4 if needed. After the fermentation we used to strain the liquid that was formed in a glass bottle. The substance was a little thik and too sweet which is ok because u had to disolve it in water once u do that the taste is amazing. It works with regular pomegranate to but the taste is a little sweeter maybe in that case u should ad less sugar. If u Have time try it u will love it

Yep... Ima make this at home today!!! I have had 3 pomegrades in the fridge for almost a month, this looks like the safe choice for them.

Hah I have one of those things in my backyard. Absolutely doing this!

I'm so glad our pomegranate tree finally grew and sprouted fruitful pomegranatey pomegranates.

Okay. The multiple cups of last year's arils in the freezer now have a good recipe in their future. Could you please publish a guide to all those great Russian cola/ tarragon & fruit juices?

As a kid I used to get Shirley Temples from every restaurant ever lol

I just went through the same thought process looking at the ingredients on Rose's, figured "how hard can it be to make", and was pleasantly surprised to learn how easy it is to make at home. Thanks for covering this! 🥂

Wow Excellent Work!

Homemade alternatives have always been my go-to choice

Cool thanks for sharing. Need to make this one.

I always follow him.. he is a legend 🖤🖤

My favorite recipe calls for oleo saccharum, pomegranate molasses and a small amount of orange blossom water. I've only ever bothered to make it once because I just don't drink enough cocktails for it to be worthwhile, but the flavor is quite complex and intriguing.

This is amazing I'm allergic to Red food colouring and can't have grenadine definitely going to try!!!!

" Ya add a lil bit of grenadine home boy... And there ya havv it!!!"

Just tried the recipe and it smelled amazing in the pan, cant wait to taste it!

You should try recreating a cocktail just by taste and look

I’m gonna make this to impress my friends can you also make a short about all the ways you can use this?

Personally I believe pomegranates are the most high-maintenence, high reward fruits. They're so delicious but such a pain to take apart.

looks amazing brother! I will definitely "purchase" some organic pomegranates to make my own!

Im severely allergic to red40 which is found in many Grenadines. This is very appreciated

Seriously hilarious vlad.

vlad you inspired me to be a bartender thank you for making me a bartendet

Add a touch of citric acid if you are using a juice such as pomwonerful to get some of that tartness back in it

I just made this for a surprise party I’m throwing this weekend :)

I like the store bought kind for my lemonade. Its my way of making a pink lemonade and that sweetness is great against the sour lemons

Anyone else love this guy?

For those who don't know, "grenadine" is French for "grenade", which is how they describe the fruit due to it's explosive insides.

I like how for mysterious chemicals you listed normal ass food dye. Anyways the homemade grenadine looks great!

Store bought grenadine is fine. Making it from fresh pomegranate is more work, for results that don’t really matter for drinks like Shirley Temples. I’m sure fresh pomegranate is better for some cocktails, but most people don’t order drinks with grenadine. Would they even notice / appreciate the extra work? Even if it’s quick to make- with how much diversity there is in Grenadine, making it yourself will not mean that the flavor is more unique. Like you said, it might be good to make to eliminate the Red 40 and Corn Syrups.

Make all syrups 2:1 sugar to water, 2:1 syrups will last forever at room temperature, 1:1 syrup like the stuff you made there won't last more then afew weeks and has to be refrigerated.

I’m Afghan and I approve of this message 🇦🇫🍷

Thank you for making this video! I actually wasn't ever really sure what grenadine really was, like what fruit it came from.

Unfortunately juicing the seeds with a juicer can cause some bitter flavors from the inedible seeds to get into the juice. I think it could depend on the juicer, but if you have to deal with that then you need to press them in a bag or something and no one wants to do that. Thankfully you can buy bottled pom juice

Non-alcoholic drink recommendation: 1 part grenadine, 2 parts apple cider, 3 parts lemonade. Poured over ice in that order. I call it a sunset.

As someone who can't actually consume any artificials due to my migraines, this is really helpful ❤

I love how he had the link to buy pomegranates in the description lol ❤

Cool one! Can you make something with Rooh Afza?

Those jars you use are neat 👀

In sweden we call them granade apple

You should try grenadine with orange juice, pinaple juice and lemonade

Grenadine in our country is very popular, when in season, i just eat the seeds with a big spoon

"purchased"

Or you can use POM juice. Nobody is going to juice pomegranate seeds

Why not use 2/1 syrup? That will make it shelf stable and also more viscuous but still easy to disolve in the cocktail

To separate the seeds of pomegranate dont cut it with a knife instead spank it lightly as a whole then cut it. the seeds will fall by themselves with only. A few left to just tap out.

Nature has sponsored you with their fresh pomegranates! What a chad I mean vlad 😏

When I made mine I added a little lemon juice into it, and It just activated all the sweetness of the pomegranate

That's actually quite easy. Thx, my man.

Bro I *wish* it was that easy to separate pomegranate seeds. The last time I harvested two pomegranates for their seeds it was roughly an hour per fruit of separating and cleaning seeds

Do a Chilean Terremoto with it, it's a fairly popular drink that uses white wine, pineapple ice cream and granadine

pomegranate for life

When everyone slated pomegranate juice as being toff pot (posh people) stuff... They were shoving grenadine into homemade random party mixers that the names were made of after 15 shots worth of whatever was in the said conconcoction. Which is, imo, more posh... Has no idea grenadine was aromatised pomegranate syrup..

Well, I am going to make this now when my pomegranate tree has some fruit. Thanks for the recipe. I just juice it or make jelly if I have a lot of pomegranates.

My favorite drink uses a bit of grenadine and blue curaçao to turn it purple, main complaint was that it's too sweet. This may be the solution I've been looking for

Or you can get the Narsharab sauce, which is basically the same pomegranate syrup condensed even further. IDK if you can get it in places without a sizeable Azerbaijani diaspora, though…

If you add a little orange juice to a Shirley temple it tastes rlly good

yeah grenedine in the Uk doesnt contain artifcial colours or corn syrup as they are both illegal here lol

I see Zorro purchasing fresh pomegranate 💀

I love "purchasing" fresh fruit too

In America, if the branch hangs across the property line, the branch and any fruit on it are yours. No theft involved.

You should have not crushed the seed, basically you should have put on a latex glove and hand squeezed the seeds without crushing the seed. Then remove the seed with a strainer. The juice would have no bitterness to it.

Michael Scott loves this.

The fuckin bandit mask 🤣🤣🤣

Problem with homemade syrups is that they don't stay good longer than a month. And even that is achievable only by storing them in fridge

LOVE THIS!!!!

You should try making a terremoto 👀 it uses grenadine!

Shirley temple is my absolute favorite vacation drink

I JUST looked up how to make this stuff 🤣

lmaoo the mask while stealing fruit😂💯

The sequel to a certain video, Pomegranate-stealing bartenders

Sweet fruit syrup red, heat on medium.

I love this

I grew up throwing away these cuz it was hard to eat too much seeds. Didn't know they're so cool.

Grenadine. For my ice cream treats. What a strange movie.

I can just hear that teacher screaming about pomogranite seeds

I think the word "purchased" as evolved with a new definition. Then again given the inflation nowadays I should purchase stuff like Vlad Slick toooo... 😜

Man, separating those little pomegranate seeds must've been very tedious
