My simple recipe for real grenadine:

Equal amounts of simple syrup and pomegranate juice (Either POM brand or make your own from fresh pomegranates) Another source calls for 2 cups of bottled POM juice brought to a boil, add 2 cups sugar until dissolved. Sounds too sweet to me.

I make my simple syrup using demerara sugar, a bit more sugar than 1 to 1. Many use 2 to 1 sugar to water but I think it’s too sweet, more like rock candy syrup but, hey, to each his own.
