Grenadine Syrup is a sweet, tart non-alcoholic liquid that can be used to give drinks a touch of tanginess and color. It is traditionally made from pomegranate juice but can be crafted from a variety of fruits, including black currant, cherry and raspberry.
Historically, grenadine is a natural pomegranate-based syrup used to enhance the flavor of a beverage, and give it a bright red or pink color. In modern times, grenadine often contains sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and citric acids to add sweetness to a drink.
There are a lot of grenadine recipes to choose from, but some can be easily made at home with simple ingredients. You can make a syrup with fresh pomegranate, or use the canned variety available in your local grocery.
Decide how much pomegranate liquid you want to mix into the syrup. You can add half a glass of the juice to your syrup, or use all of it for a more intense pomegranate flavour.
After you have determined how much juice to add to the pomegranate, simmer the juice and sugar in a small pan until the desired consistency is reached. Stirring frequently is important to avoid burning the sugar. Remove the syrup from the heat once it has boiled and let it cool before you bottle it.

How to make Manhattan's best cocktail
A Manhattan is one of the most famous cocktails in the world. It was first described by Harry Craddock in his book "The Savoy Bar Book", published in 1930. You will find equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouths, gin, and whiskey in this cocktail. Some people add bitters, orange juice, maraschino cherry, or even Angostura Bitters. Many variations of the Manhattan recipe exist, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail consisting of four ingredients. It is served in a chilled glass. It's origins can be traced back to the 19th-century when it was known by the Four Deuces. This is because it had two measures whiskey, two measures rye, two measures vodka, and two measure of gin. The original recipe is still very popular with bartenders as well as drinkers today.
Some prefer to make bourbon, others prefer to make rye. Both work equally well. Use equal amounts of each ingredient to make a Manhattan. You would use two shots each of rye and sweet vermouth. Four shots of dry vermouth is also recommended. Eight shots of vodka are sufficient. Mix them all together and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain out the ice and serve. Garnish with a maraschino cherry or a twist of lemon peel.
