Cocktails taste so much better when made with great ingredients.  Homemade grenadine syrup isn’t hard to make.  Stop buying the pre-made stuff, full of sugar and try a refreshing cocktail made with your very own grenadine syrup.

Step 1:

Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat; stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2:

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture until it begins to thicken, then sit in the pomegranate juice.  Remove from the heat and let cool.  Strain through a fine mesh sieve and pour into a bottle.

Ingredients:

2 cups sugar

1 cup water

1 cup pomegranate juice
