Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Grenadine is the most popular fruit syrup used by bartenders. Unfortunately, the most popular and easy-to-find brand of grenadine, Rose's, has no acutal fruit in it at all. It's high fructose corn syrup with red food coloring in it.
Yum.
Grenadine is actually supposed to be a sweet syrup made from pomegranate juice, which lends it a distinctive color and flavor, though the corn syrup version has become so prevalent, that a straw poll I did revealed that many people believed grenadine was cherry flavored. It can be difficult to find a bottle of the real thing, but the Sonoma's Syrup Co sells an all natural, pomegranate grenadine that I was able to pick up at Williams-Sonoma, despite the fact that it is not listed on their website. The taste is worlds away from the corn syrup stuff and you can feel good about eliminating one more source of high fructose corn syrup in your diet.

looking for something even more unique? try blood oranges.

Grenadine
Ingredients:
16oz pomegrante juice (POM works just dandy)
2c granulated sugar
1oz vodka (as a preservative)
1. Combine juice and sugar over medium heat and stir around until the sugar dissolves.
2. Remove from heat, stir in vodka, bottle, and pop it in your refrigerator. Keeps for a couple of months.
