If you would like to make homemade grenadine syrup then simply boil equal amounts of Pomegranate Juice and Sugar gently until the consistency becomes syrupy. You could also use Cherry juice & sugar or a combination of pomegranate and cherry - just use an equal amount of sugar in order to end with a simple syrup consistency. In fact, you could also just use water instead of juice to make a simple syrup and then just tint it red with some food color - this will sweeten your drink and make it look pretty but you won't get that tint of fruit flavor.
