Notes

*If you wish to make the grenadine: You need 16 ounces pomegranate juice and 8 ounces demerara sugar

  • Combine pomegranate juice and demerara sugar in a saucepan and place over medium-high heat.
  • Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes, and set the pan aside to cool.
  • Express the oil from the citrus zests into the pan, and drop the peels into the liquid.
  • Once cool, remove the peels from the liquid and store the grenadine in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
