What Is Grenadine?

Contrary to popular belief, grenadine isn’t made from cherries. The name comes from the French word grenade, meaning pomegranate, which is the original—and still most authentic—base of the syrup. Traditional grenadine is a sweet-tart mixture of pomegranate juice, sugar, and sometimes a hint of lemon juice or orange blossom water. Its vibrant ruby-red color and balanced flavor made it a natural fit for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Unfortunately, many of the mass-produced grenadines on the market today have swapped out real fruit for high-fructose corn syrup and artificial coloring. But if you’ve ever had grenadine made from real pomegranate juice, you know there’s no comparison. It’s tart, floral, a little mysterious, and deeply refreshing.
