Grenadine has been given a bad name by terrible off-the-shelf pre-made mixers and some sad, overly sweet cocktails. But Grenadine is a great syrup when made well and is a key ingredient in a lot of great and classic cocktails like the Jack Rose (

https://youtu.be/VJKOkos2nmU), Bacardi Cocktail, El Presidente, Planter's Punch, Chinese Cocktail, as well as the poster child for virgin cocktails, the Shirley Temple (and of course, Grenadine can be used in the subverted alcoholic version of the drink, the Dirty Shirley [

It is Pomegranate Syrup. In fact the name, Grenadine, comes from the French word for Pomegranate, "grenade".
The flower waters are great and help brighten up the syrup. In a pinch, you can leave them out. But I would certainly recommend using them. There are links to both flower waters below. You can get them delivered right to your door. Otherwise you can just find them a Bevmo or in the "ethnic" section of the grocery store.
The shelf life of this syrup is really good. There's a lot of sugar, which helps and if you add the vodka it will help even more. Enjoy!
Recipe:
1 Cup Pomegranate Juice
2 Cups Sugar
2 oz Water (if using Pomegranate Seeds)
3 drops Rose Water
3 drops Orange Flower Water
1 oz Vodka (optional)
Combine Pomegranate Juice and Sugar to a pot.
Heat on low and stir until all crystals have dissolved.
Remove 3/4 of the syrup from heat.
Heat the remaining 1/4 of the syrup on medium heat.
Reduce it by half.
Add the reduced syrup to the rest of the syrup.
Pour it into a heat proof bottle.
Add water to the mixture if you used Pomegranate Seeds. (If you used Pomegranate Juice, skip this step).
Optionally, add an ounce of Vodka to help preserve it.
Store in the refrigerator.
Yield 1.5 Cups (350 ml)
