[...] Even setting aside the trouble of managing expectations or reading minds or guessing which version of the Zombie your guest has had that they so desire, the Zombie is still a drink comprised of NINE INGREDIENTS. NINE! A third of those ingredients are rums, so get ready to start grabbing bottles. If you’re making the ‘34, I sure hope your syrup supply is in good order, because you’re going to be grabbing Don’s Mix, Falernum and Grenadine. [...]

Thanks very much, Stevi! I found some juice last night, and am going to give it a go tonight. I appreciate the help. :)

Dave,
Glad you like the post.

Plastic bottle should be fine. I keep syrups in them all the time, and in fact have used them previously for grenadine. It’s just that all of mine were in use when I made this latest batch!

I usually see pomegranate juice in the grocery store along with all the other “everything but orange” juice selection.

Great post, Stevi! I am hoping to try your recipe tonight, assuming I can find some pomegranate juice.

Quick question, though: would it be okay to keep homemade grenadine in a plastic bottle? I’d like to keep it in something that would be easy to pour, and I don’t have any glassware that fits the bill. If you have the chance to reply, I would appreciate it. Have a good one!

Tiare –
Does this work with cold process grenadine?

Nice post and the cocktail looks good too.

A tip- try to add a handful of dried hibiscus flowers sometimes, its makes a nice grenadine.

Thanks, Matt. Another great excuse to make grenadine is that I “rediscover” the El Presidente every time I make a new batch. Such a wonderful cocktail.

Great post, Stevi!

I love grenadine. It’s so hard to beat the Jack Rose for a grenadine cocktail, but I find that I use it more often in El Presidente cocktails (a rum cocktail? I know, you’re shocked).
