Grenadine

Grenadine is a nonalcoholic bar syrup used as a cocktail ingredient, distinguished by its sweetness, mild flavor and red color. It was traditionally made from pomegranate juice, sugar and water, and its name derives from the French word grenade, meaning pomegranate. Modern commercial versions, such as the common United States brand Rose's, have largely moved away from fruit bases, instead using high fructose corn syrup, water, citric acid and artificial coloring, though some variants substitute other fruits such as blackcurrant, elderberry, raspberry or gooseberry for pomegranate. It is used in cocktails including the Tequila Sunrise, Singapore Sling and Zombie, and in nonalcoholic drinks such as the Shirley Temple and Roy Rogers.
