Today we're going to make real grenadine syrup, which is just pomegranate flavoured simple syrup. Grenadine serves a bunch of different purposes in cocktails first the colour, that nice bright red colour that it brings, sweetness because essentially it's just a pomegranate flavoured simple syrup, and just that hint of pomegranate flavour.
