Associated with the cocktail world for over 200 years, grenadine is as much a sweet childhood memory as it is a staple of many classic cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. But we agree that the artificial-fire-reddish-radioactive-liquid was in dire need of a natural... rejuvenation. Challenge accepted! Monsieur Cocktail Grenadine Syrup is made with pomegranate juice as well as cranberry juice for acidity, the latter sharing a lot of aromatic notes with pomegranate... not to mention a fine touch of cherry blossom!
Tasting Notes: A fruity and floral nose, reminiscent of the grenadine of our childhood with notes of cherries, cranberries and spring flowers. On the palate, you’ll find a smooth texture and an explosion of sweet gourmet pomegranate and cranberry notes.
