Did you know that simple syrup is another name for homemade grenadine? Years ago, grenadine was simply syrup sweetened with pomegranate fruit. It?s just as simple to make it in your own home now as it was back then.

Pomegranate syrup is perfect for adding flavor and bold color to lemonade, cocktails, or the ever-popular Shirley Temple drink for children. Syrups are non-alcoholic, so they can be used in drinks, cooking, and desserts without giving a second thought to who is coming to dinner.

You can also mix up delicious cocktails for those friends and family members who enjoy a little drink before or after dinner using pomegranate syrup. This syrup is ideal for making mojitos, margaritas, and champagne spritzers.

Making your own syrup at home ensures that you are using the freshest ingredients and creating truly delicious grenadine bursting with flavor, but there are some excellent grenadine products on the market today that taste just as good, if not better, than the homemade version.

Check out the store closest to you that offers spirits and beer to see if they stock simple pomegranate syrup ready made and conveniently bottled for you. You?ll save time and have something on hand for those times you want to cook with simple pomegranate syrup or add it to your favorite cocktail.
