I agree with GatorRob that is is "light and fruity". It has a pleasant not-too-sweet flavor straight from the bottle. However, I don't think there is enough flavor, sweetness, or color for making cocktails, because I think other ingredients will overpower this grenadine. The Torani has a more intense pomegranate flavor, is sweeter, and much darker red. I'll try making a cocktail with the 2 brands and do another comparison. I used to use Trader Vic's grenadine but now I prefer syrups made with cane sugar like Torani. For the money, I think perhaps making my own or buying Torani is the path I will take.
