Grenadine Grenadine is a bottled sticky syrup that attempts to mimic the taste of pomegranates without actually having pomegranates in it. Grenadine is usually found in sweet cocktails, such as the Mai Tai , and is more at home in Tiki bars.
Some people actually pour it over ice cream or crushed ice.
As far as we're concerned, anything that goes well in a Sno-Cone should be used in moderation with cocktails. Don't pay a premium for this syrup. It's not an exotic addition to your bar, rather a fail-safe for guests who lean toward overly sweet, if not immature, cocktails. We're currently searching for a Middle Eastern product that is said to be made from real pomegranate juice and citric acids. If our hunch is correct, this syrup would be a great substitute for grenadine.
