Pomegranate Cordial

A real pomegranate grenadine — pomegranate juice reduced with sugar and a whisper of orange-flower water. The grown-up version of the corn-syrup bottle.

Ingredients

• Pomegranate Juice2 cups
• Sugar1.5 cups
• Orange-Flower Water3 drops

Directions

Simmer 2 cups pomegranate juice with 1.5 cups sugar until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Off heat, stir in a few drops of orange-flower water. Cool and bottle.

Notes

This is what a Shirley Temple wishes it had. The orange-flower water is the classic period touch; a drop goes a long way.
