How to Make Grenadine
Make your own authentic grenadine in less than 10 minutes with just a handful of ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pomegranate juice (freshly pressed or unsweetened bottled juice like POM)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses (optional, but recommended)
- ½ tsp orange blossom water
- 1 oz vodka, to extend shelf life (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the pomegranate juice and sugar in a small saucepan and set heat to medium-low.
- Stir frequently until the sugar has dissolved, then remove from the heat.
- Stir in the pomegranate molasses (if using) and the orange blossom water (or rosewater).
- Add one ounce of vodka or grain alcohol (optional) to help extend the life of the syrup.
- Allow the syrup to cool fully, then store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. Syrup will last at least two weeks, or longer if using vodka to preserve it.
