Can you use strawberry syrup instead of grenadine?
Grenadine syrup is a non-alcoholic bar syrup traditionally made of pomegranate juice and is great for adding to a variety of cocktails and mocktails for a splash of red!
If you don’t have any grenadine at home, then strawberry syrup can be a good substitute for grenadine. Generally speaking, strawberry syrup’s consistency is much thicker than grenadine and tends to have a sweeter flavor in comparison to the tart flavor that grenadine is renowned for. That being said, if you're looking for an alternative that is always a crowd-pleaser, is considered sweeter, and is less likely to make you purse your lips like the pomegranate juice in grenadine, then strawberry syrup is a good option for your cocktails!
