A real pomegranate cordial with citrus and soda — what a Shirley Temple wishes it were. Tart, deep red, and grown-up.

Notes

A proper pomegranate grenadine (pomegranate juice reduced with sugar and a touch of orange-flower water) is the whole difference between this and the corn-syrup version. Technique earns it.
