Grenadine is a sweet, red syrup made primarily from pomegranate juice, sugar, and water. It is commonly used in cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages to add flavor and a vibrant color. The syrup has a rich, fruity taste that enhances drinks like Shirley Temple and Tequila Sunrise. Originally, grenadine was made from real pomegranates, but many commercial versions today use artificial flavors and colors. Despite this, it remains a popular ingredient in bars and kitchens, often used to create visually appealing drinks and desserts.
