Equipment

  • 1 Orange Blossom water
  • 1 Muddler
  • 1 Jigger
  • Swing top bottles

Ingredients

  • 2 pcs Large pomegranates (or 2 cups of pomegranate juice)
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 oz Pomegranate molasses
  • 1-2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Orange blossom water
  • 1 oz Vodka (optional)

Instructions

  • Remove the kernels from the pomegranates and juice them as mentioned above.
  • Add pomegranate juice, sugar, and pomegranate molasses into a small saucepan and simmer on low to medium heat. Stir occasionally.
  • To make sure your Grenadine has a bright red color, you should carefully watch the syrup while heating it. It should simmer but never boil. If your Grenadine starts boiling, the color will turn brown-ish.
  • Remove the syrup from the heat once the sugar is dissolved. Add orange flower water, fresh lemon juice, and Vodka and stir again until everything is combined.
  • Let the Grenadine cool down to room temperature before bottling. Then store it in the fridge and use it within six months.
