Blood Orange Juice
Our preference is fresh pressed, but pure blood orange juice is widely available in the market. Blood orange juice is sweeter and less acidic than standard orange juice and has a light floral taste with berry undertones. Cara Cara oranges can be used as a substitute.

Grenadine Syrup
Grenadine is a common non-alcoholic beverage syrup used for its color, sweetness and syrup consistency. Commercially produced grenadine is more sweet and less citrusy from artisan made grenadine. Grenadine syrup is easy to make in small batches at home resulting in more pomegranate flavor.
