Pomegranate molasses

Jar of pomegranate molasses, an ingredient for cocktails

Pomegranate molasses is grenadine’s handsome older brother – richer, sexier, stronger. It’s made from reduces pomegranate juice, and typically has sugar and a little lemon juice or citric acid added.

We buy ours at the local Middle Eastern grocery, but check the labels carefully! There are often two varieties on offer, a sweet one and a sour one. Make sure you pick the sweet molasses!

Got a bumper crop of pomegranates? It’s easy to make your own pomegranate molasses. In a pot, combine 4 cups (or about 1000 mL) of pomegranate juice, 2 cups (500 mL) sugar, and 2 tablesppons (30 mL) of lemon juice. Cook on medium-high until the sugar dissolves, then reduce heat and simmer for about an hour. Let cool, pour into a bottle, and store in the refrigerator.

Terrific Design!

Absolutely love this app. Gives a great visual representation of the ingredients and the user interface is well designed. Been using it to learn how to make cocktails, the descriptions are great about the drinks. As a novice barman, I love that I am learning the origin of the drink and alternative ways to make the drink. Be prepared to have a wide range of alcohol at you disposal! I can make heaps of drinks with the decent home collection I have, but seeing all the recipes what I could make gets me excited! Highly recommended, everyone loves the person who makes excellent drinks!
