Hello Rob, Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your effort! Below, I've outlined a my recipe for Grenadine: Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups white sugar 1 cup 100% pomegranate juice 1/2 teaspoon pomegranate molasses 1/4 teaspoon rose water I find that the rosewater elevates the grenadine, in my opinion, keep up the great work. Rosewater will overtake the flavor quickly, so stick to the measurements.
These are fantastic, one thing I learnt is that I've made my grenadine the wrong way, if it really is just sugar and pomegranate juice, well, might have to retry and see how it comes out, cheers Rob 😊
I mainly use rich (simple) syrup and it never goes bad. However, just a couple months ago, I had a simple (simple) syrup that started molding in a bottle in the fridge after just 3 months. I've never seen that before. Btw, why does everyone call "rich simple syrup" that. Simple syrup is 1:1 so why not call a 2:1 syrup something like "rich syrup" without the word simple in it... Simple, right?
I think the “simple” refers to the fact that it’s plain white sugar and not a flavored or brown sugar … so that’s why we still say simple.. a rich syrup could also refer to a rich Demerara syrup … but who knows 🤷♂️😜
Interesting. I've always heard it called by the ratio. Simple syrup (1:1 sugar:water), semi-rich syrup (1.5:1 sugar:water) and rich syrup (2:1 sugar:water), but now that I just looked, a lot of people do use "x" simple syrup. I've never really called it "rich simple syrup", just rich syrup. Oh well, maybe I'm just ahead of the times. 😁
This is a great video! Super informative for a home bar newbie like me. I will comment that while I have much respect for the two-camera setup you have going its a little disorienting for me how much you cut between them, especially in the intro. Just a note!
Not where I'm at. Even the 1 kroger which carried a genuine grenadine (cane sugar and pomegranate juice before the preservatives, no HFCS) now no longer does. Everywhere, including the nicer grocery stores only carry Roses and/or the kroger-branded equivalent of Roses. I'm going to have to make my own it looks like, as the local liquor stores don't carry good cocktail syrups beyond the cheapest stuff too.
How much vodka should we add to pomegranate syrup to extend the shelf life, and by about how much does it extend (guesstimate) the shelf life in the fridge?
Plain sugar syrups (simple and Demerara) are most likely shelf stable… I wouldn’t trust the others, especially the fruit and nut syrups.. they go bad quickly!
Hello Rob,

Sounds like a great recipe! I still can’t find the molasses here, I’m sure I could order it somewhere 😜 cheers!
And where can one find rosewater and pomegranate molasses?
These are fantastic, one thing I learnt is that I've made my grenadine the wrong way, if it really is just sugar and pomegranate juice, well, might have to retry and see how it comes out, cheers Rob 😊
Yea it’s pretty easy to make! Cheers Damo!
This must be the most inclusive syrups video on the internet. Love your work Rob!
Thanks Steve! I always appreciate your feedback! Cheers!
I love how you respond to a lot of other bartender videos
@@jacobmoux5235 it's a great community, everyone gets along!

Cheers 🍻
Great video. Quick and to the point. Subscribed!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Wow, that was an epic marathon. Well done!! 12 syrups video might be a record. 😉
Took a while! Happy with how the video turned out
This is amazing Rob 💥
Thanks!

Another great vid. You never cease to amaze me. ❤
Thanks! I appreciate it
Some I do some I buy as there are some great quality craft options now available compared to years prior (looking at you grenadine)
Finally stopped buying the Roses 🤣🤦♂️
@@RobsHomeBar ah we’ll never did. Started with small hands food and now local options.

Hi Rob. Great video. Any ideas on how to keep the coconut syrup from separating? Do you recommend an emulsifier of some sort?
I suppose you could try a little bit of xantham gum.. but to be honest, a good shake before using usually re-emulsifies everything pretty well!
Great video on all of these easy homemade syrups
Thanks Carl! It was a long video to shoot but happy with how it all turned out! …and now I gotta use all these syrups 😅
great video, the only thing is you're measuring by volume not by weigh
If you double the syrup will these be shelf stable?
Plain sugar syrups (simple and Demerara) are most likely shelf stable… I wouldn’t trust the others, especially the fruit and nut syrups.. they go bad quickly!
ROB!!! Great video!!! I 100% make my own syrups!!! I tried your strawberry syrup today and it came out very well!!! CHEERS buddy!!!
Thanks Tim! It’s a great recipe and works with every fruit!!
