Easy to make Grenadine

Hey Guys today we finally learn to make Grenadine. This has been a highly requested episode so hope you guys dig it. It takes you through the process start to finish so it a bit of a longer episode and we do make Grenadine from scratch.

Here are the recipes Written out:

For Pomegranate Molasses:
4 Cups (946ml) Pomegranate Juice
3 Cups (603g) Cane Sugar
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice

For Grenadine:
In a saucepan combine 4 cups (946ml) of organic, unfiltered, unsweetened pomegranate juice and 3 cups of organic (cane) sugar. Place over medium heat, stirring constantly and without bringing to a boil, until the sugar is dissolved. I make sure I don'r even simmer it, I just make the juice hot, you do not want to burn anything. Stir in 6oz (180ml) of pomegranate molasses and combine. Lasts two weeks in the fridge.

there's something really creepy about the long silent pauses of you stirring the mixture with black gloves. It looks like a shot of hannibal like you're stirring blood or something

Hey the recipe for the molasses in the description doesnt match the recipe you stated in the video.

In the video you said for half batch use 2 cups of pomegranate juice, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1Tbsp lemon juice.

In the description it states 4 cups pomegranate juice (2x2=4), 2Tbsp Lemon Juice (1x2=2), and 3 cups sugar (0.25x2=.5 not 3)

Which is the correct amount of sugar? Half cup sugar for a full batch or 3 cups of sugar?

That stirring bit was the most relaxing thing I've seen in a while. Thank you for the mental grenadine massage. 10 out of Zen content.

[jack_wparsons]

Man yall have no patience. That stirring was Bob Ross meditative for me lol! That part had me lmao

Did you half the recipe for the video? Your notes don't match what you said if the video. In the notes it says "4cups (240ml)" but 4 cups is about 1000ml or 1 quart. The sugar also says 1/2 cup but should be more like 100grams for 1/2cup. Also it say 2tbsp instead of 1 as in the video. So molasses should be?
1 cup pomegranate juice
1/4 cup sugar
1tbsp lemon juice
if it reduces down to 3oz, it should be about 126grams reduced
??? not trying to criticize, just want to clarify
Cheers :)

I pounded a whole bottle of this just now and still don’t feel really buzzed. Please advise

[garrettjones]

I've been looking for a simple, well explained, video like this for so long. Well done, and thank you! (big fan of the channel btw) :)

watching so many of your videos makes me wonder all sorts of stuff relative to how cocktail ideas emerge. Like for instance, if you can make anything into a syrup just by adding sugar.. could you take rose water, then ''syrup'' it - then make something out of that. One bar in town here - made there signature drink something that contains rhubarb purée. It's great - really inspired.

Great Grenadine recipe if you have the time for the prep. Now, let's say you don't have time to do this and you can't buy Grenadine, but you have guests coming in a half hour. (or you noticed after the liquor store is closed that your Grenadine went south and is unusable, or mid party you have run out).

Here is a quick and low class way that I make something that is Grenadine-adjacent for passable backyard Tequila Sunrises and stuff.

1. Make simple syrup. (If you also need simple syrup you should reserve half of it now in a seperate bottle for cocktails that need it.)
2. Grab a bottle of store pomegranate juice (like POM which is actually in some gas stations these days). Add it to your syrup. Your ratio is about 1:1.
3. Reduce it down again until you have good consistancy but before it turns to molasses.
4. Bottle and chill.
5. Save Grenadine cocktails for later rounds.
6. Come clean if your guests notice.

What you have just made is NOT Grenadine. It is... pomegranate syrup at best, but it works in a pinch and is forgivable in a home setting with no notice or a night alone when you are being lazy and cheap.

A much easier way to get the aerials out is to top it, about 1/4-1/2 inch down then cut along the lines you see. It will look like five point start from the top. Simply cut along the lines of membrane and you'll get five pieces that are easier to seed without getting much membrane with the seeds.

For us metric folk who to make the pomegranate molassas(or however it's spelled lol)

2cups pomegranate = 473ml (around 0.5 liter)
1/4 cup sugar = 59ml (around 6 cl)

[jakeblood]

funny how Roses Grenadine just says "with natural flavors" no mention of pomegranates whatsoever haha

[itsDigitalBeard]

We needed some elevator music during that stir...

[EpyonRaV]

How long does it last in a fridge? Can it be prolonged by adding a shot of vodka?

[zephyrm.]

For my own reference 2:05 is when the *Pomegranate Molasses* recipe starts.

[lassisn]

Dude, 10 mins of stirring. It's like watching lorries overtaking on the freeway. I can see you have some editing skills and it would not be hard to make it faster paced. If you would have shown us how to make the paste it would have been fine, but this was just stirring to me. Sorry.

[jesseaharris]

What’s the point of making pomegranate molasses first? The grenadine is also a reduction of pomegranate juice and sugar; I’ve seen other recipes that call for just reducing pomegranate juice, sugar, and some lemon juice

[monoyamono]

No joke. I could literally hear crickets outside my window while you were stirring that in real time. Lol

[FelonTrump]

“everybody should know how to make grenadine”. 😂😂
