Grenadine Syrup

It's the little things that make a good cocktail great - like making your own grenadine syrup. Not your store bought version full of artificial colors and flavors, but sweetened pomegranate juice with a touch of Fiori di Sicilia to give it a light orange citrus dimension.

2 cups pomegranate juice - such as Pom Wonderful

2 cups granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon Fiori di Sicilia extract

• In a nonreactive saucepan combine the pomegranate juice and granulated sugar, bring to boil and remove from the heat

• Stir until the sugar is dissolved

• Add the extract and stir to combine

• Store the grenadine in the refrigerator
