Questions about Grenadine syrup
What is grenadine syrup made from?
Traditional grenadine is made by simmering pomegranate juice with sugar until it becomes a thick, sweet syrup. Many commercial versions use other fruit flavours or colouring, so the name alone does not guarantee that it contains pomegranate.
How do you use grenadine in a drink?
Add a small splash to sparkling water, lemonade or a cocktail, then taste before adding more: its sweetness and colour are quite intense. For a layered drink, pour it slowly down the inside of the glass so it settles at the bottom.
Does grenadine syrup need to be refrigerated after opening?
Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard if the bottle’s instructions allow; refrigerate it after opening if directed. Use a clean spoon or pour directly rather than dipping used utensils into the bottle.
What drinks and dishes use grenadine?
It is best known in drinks such as a Shirley Temple, a Tequila Sunrise and a Singapore Sling. You can also drizzle a little over fruit salad, yoghurt or shaved ice.
Can you make grenadine syrup at home?
Yes: gently simmer equal weights of pomegranate juice and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the liquid is lightly syrupy, then cool and refrigerate in a clean bottle. Avoid a hard boil, which can make it taste overly cooked.
Is grenadine the same as pomegranate juice?
No. Grenadine is sweetened and concentrated into a syrup, while pomegranate juice is a pourable fruit juice; pomegranate juice has 55 kcal per 100 g, compared with 268 kcal in grenadine.
Can you substitute pomegranate juice for grenadine?
You can, but the result will be less sweet and less thick. Simmer pomegranate juice with sugar to make a closer substitute, or use the juice as it is when you want a lighter, tarter drink.
Is grenadine syrup very sugary?
Yes; a tablespoon (20 g) contains 9.3 g of sugar. Use a teaspoon first in drinks, then add more only if needed.
