I suggest Knudsen or POM Wonderful, which are both 100 percent pomegranate juice with no additives.

Bottled juice tends to be darker in color, while fresh is quite vivid.

Its best used within one month, if cold pressed and without the addition of vodka.

you’re free to buy the juice at the store or juice the pomegranates yourself.

If you want to juice the fruit yourself, you’ll need 2 to 3 pomegranates.

The liquid should have lots of little bubbles around the edges, but no big bubbles.

After the mixture has reduced, remove from the heat and let it come to room temperature.

Stir in the orange flower water and pomegranate molasses.

If using, also stir in the vodka.

Pour the grenadine into an airtight container or swing top bottle.

Store in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 months.
