Comments

Grenadine is *not* traditionally non alcoholic. When I've used it in bar work it has been low alcohol, but by no means alcohol free. It has simply been made alcohol free to make it easier to sell.

What did the name come from?

Ingredients

Translating from the German interwiki article here:

"Contrary to popular belief, grenadine is not obtained from the pomegranate fruit. Rather, grenadine is the fantasy name for a mixture of various red fruits (raspberry, redcurrant, blackberry, and others). The syrup is obtained from the extracts of these fruits, and together with vanilla extract forms its naturally fruity aroma."

This contradicts the current introduction. Any ideas on improving this article? GilliamJF 12:35, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't really seem appropriate for there to be a picture of a pomegranate with a caption saying that grenadine comes from pomegranates if the article itself says that it doesn't.

There are recipes for making it using Pomegranate. Any recipes for this "mixture" concept?

TLS, Tonya LeNell Smothers writes, "Ask any master mixologist what (s)he uses to make grenadine for his classic cocktails, they will all say pomegranate. Sure you can make it from other red juiced fruits (red currants, for example, are sometimes used for a syrup called "groseille") for some fun syrups, and nothing wrong with doing that and seeing how they change a classic cocktail recipe, but pomegranate has been the mainstay. You say the word "grenadine" in French and you mean "pomegranate." http://www.lenells.com/

The idea that it does not contain any pomegranates seems to be a controversial claim. Many online sources indicate that it does, or at least it used to. I have also found grenadine recipes that call for pomegranates. So at least some people do make it that way. 68.255.63.82

Hmm... if we trust the U.S. FDA, "Originally, grenadine was prepared from pomegranate juice and sugar, but for many years the name has been loosely applied to syrups and beverages consisting of other fruit juices and sugar syrup. The characteristic flavor can be obtained from a mixture of black currant juice and other fruit juices with the black currant juice predominating." This sounds right to me; shall we put it in?

Yes, please add your new information. There is a photo of a pomegranate in the history of the article, if applicable. GilliamJF 18:07, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've taken the liberty of a few near-direct quotes, since the original is public domain. Melchoir 00:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
