Grenadine, a sweet-tart non-alcoholic sugar syrup, is used to enhance the flavor of many drinks and add color. It also gives them a tangy taste. It is traditionally made from pomegranate juice but can be crafted from a variety of fruits, including black currant, cherry and raspberry.
Historically grenadine has been a natural pomegranate based syrup, used to enhance the natural flavors and colors of drinks, by giving them a reddish or pinkish hue. Today, grenadine can be made from sugar, high-fructose syrup and citric acid. This provides the sweetness required to enhance the taste of a beverage.
There are many grenadine cocktails to try, but there are also some that can be made with just a few simple ingredients that are easy to find in your kitchen. If you want to make a grenadine, use fresh pomegranate syrup or the bottle variety from your local supermarket.
To make your own grenadine, you will need to decide how much pomegranate syrup to add. You can choose to use just half a cup of the juice, or you can go with all of it if you like a lot of pomegranate flavor in your drink.
Once you know how much pomegranate to add, heat the juice in a small pot with the sugar until the consistency is right. Be careful not to burn sugar and stir the mixture frequently. Once the syrup has boiled, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool before bottling it.
This is a delicious and beautiful way to use the grenadine. It is an excellent drink to take to a party and is ideal for those people who don’t drink alcohol.

How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It's best to serve it in a chilled glass. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. Mixing it with anything else will ruin its taste.
A martini can be served with two olives. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.
Any type of alcohol can be used, however it is best to use 100% grain alcohol such as Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Stir vigorously until combined. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
