Ingredients for Shirley temple mocktail For 1 glass

What is Grenadine syrup?
- Grenadine syrup, also known as pomegranate syrup, is commonly used in mixing drinks. The special feature of this syrup is that it is non-alcoholic and has an impressive coloring effect whenever mixed.
- Grenadine syrup will have a characteristic deep red color, and its flavor will be slightly sour mixed with a bit of sweetness, which is very stimulating to the taste buds.
- The main ingredients in Grenadine syrup are the juice of fruits like pomegranate and raspberry, so it will not be overly sweet, which can be unpleasant.
How to choose delicious fresh pomegranates
- When buying pomegranates, you should choose those with a wrinkled skin. These are usually the ripe fruits, which will be sweet, with clear and plump seeds.
- Additionally, you should buy pomegranates from September to February of the following year, as this is the harvest season for pomegranates in Vietnam, so the pomegranates will be heavy, sweet red seeds, and also cheaper.
- Avoid buying off-season pomegranates that are small in size, as these fruits tend to be sour, with small seeds and less juice.

Preparing the pomegranate
Wash the pomegranate thoroughly, then use a knife to make a square cut on the top of the pomegranate and remove the crown. Next, cut vertical lines along the pomegranate’s body at the positions of the white membranes inside to break the pomegranate into smaller sections.
Finally, use your hands to separate each pomegranate seed and place them into a bowl.
