Tools

Contains raw eggRaw egg can carry salmonella. Pasteurised egg — fresh or cartoned white — works the same in a shaker and removes the risk; worth insisting on for anyone elderly or immunocompromised, and keep eggs refrigerated.

Preparations

Grenadine45 minutessee method

Place 2 cups of 100 percent pomegranate juice in a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until it has reduced by half. Add 2 cups sugar and stir until it has dissolved. Remove the pan from heat and let the grenadine cool completely before using or storing in the refrigerator.

Method

  1. Dry-shake everything without ice until it thickens.
  2. Add ice and shake again until cold.
  3. Double-strain into a chilled coupe.
