Making a cocktail that calls for grenadine and don’t have it? Don’t worry, there are few options that work for this cocktail syrup! Grenadine is a bright red, sweet tart syrup used in cocktails. People mistakenly think it’s cherry, but it’s actually made out of pomegranate juice! (The name comes from the French word for pomegranate, grenade.) Grenadine is used in lots of popular drinks: famously in a non-alcoholic Shirley Temple and the vibrant Tequila Sunrise....

Alex and I make sure to throw in red onions with a pile of other grilled vegetables because they add incredible flavor....
