How To Make Homemade Grenadine + Pomegranate Vodka Fizz Recipe

Homemade grenadine is a simple and all natural cocktail mixer that’s great to have on hand when entertaining. The bright red color will make show-stopping cocktails for all of your fall parties!

When it comes to making stellar cocktails at home the key is to have high quality ingredients. From the liquor to the mixers, the better quality you have, the better the cocktail. One of my favorite mixers to make at home is homemade grenadine. It is a simple two-ingredient process.

The entire recipe is just two ingredients: 100% pomegranate juice and Monk Fruit In The Raw. The two are simple heated together in a small sauce pan until the Monk Fruit In The Raw is dissolved and the mixture has reduced by 1/3 and is syrupy in consistency.

Monk Fruit In The Raw is a blend of the naturally sweet monk fruit and other natural ingredients. It has zero calories and is great for baking and sweetening drinks. For the homemade grenadine, I used my bakers bag, but you can easily use several packets to make up the amount, if desired.

Once you have the homemade grenadine in your fridge, you can make a variety of fun and festive cocktails. The blood red color of the grenadine adds an eerie feel to a Halloween cocktail, as well as a burst of great flavor. My favorite cocktail to make using Homemade Grenadine is a simple vodka-based cocktail I call the Pomegranate Vodka Fizz.

The cocktail is a blend of vodka, homemade grenadine, lime juice, and orange sparkling water. The drink is refreshing and beautiful, especially when topped off with fresh lime slices and pomegranate seeds.
