Grenadine Syrup Recipe
Homemade pomegranate syrup for drinks and cocktails
Servings 1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Unsweetened Pomegranate Juice
- 1 1/2 cup Cane Sugar
- 12 drops Orange Flower Water
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- splash Everclear or High Proof Vodka optional
Instructions
- Add 1 cup of pomegranate juice and 1/4 cup of the sugar to a small saucepan.
- Simmer and let bubble on medium while stirring until it reduces to about 1/3 of its' original volume and is thick and redish-brown (see images above). The bubbles will begin to get bigger and syrupy looking which will let you know you're close.
- Add the rest of the sugar and pomegranate juice as well as the salt and orange flower water.
- Warm on low just until all the sugar is dissolved and remove from heat.
- Once cooled, pour into a bottle for storing in the fridge. Add about 1/2oz of Everclear to help preserve if you'd like.
Notes
Whenever you make a syrup you can help preserve it a little longer by putting in some neutral high proof spirit like Everclear or a strong vodka.
REMEMBER that orange flower water is extremely powerful so be careful when measuring!
Store it in the fridge for up to several weeks.
