Product DescriptionGrenade is the French word for pomegranate, and originally grenadine syrup was made from pomegranate juice and sugar. Today, grenadine is the name loosely applied to syrups made from a mixture of other dark-red fruits.The Teisseire grenadine syrup gets its flavor from the concentrated juices of five fruits: raspberry, elderberry, red currant, blackcurrant, and lemon. Try one of these combinations or stick with the most popular mixer--plain water--for a flavorful thirst quencher (1 part syrup to 7 times water).Hence the cries in a French cafe for un lait fraise (milk with strawberry syrup), un Perrier menthe ( Perrier with mint syrup), une tomate (pastis and grenadine syrup), une mauresque (pastis and orgeat syrup), un diabolo fraise (lemonade and strawberry syrup), or un tango (beer with grenadine syrup).Fruit syrups have always been a part of the French way of drinking, whether mixed with water, Perrier, lemonade, milk, pastis, or even beer.
