Thanks, Gnomon, for all that great info. I have no problem with a little "fiber" in my cocktail - My syrup will not go unused! I was concerned because I recently had a bottle of Stirrings Grenadine grow some kind of mold when I left it out of the fridge for a few weeks. The Rose's Grenadine NEVER gets moldy - even after a few years on the shelf!

The disadvantage of using Rose's is that it sucks. Might as well be the syrup inside a bottle of Maraschino cherries (actually, the syrup inside a bottle of cherries tastes better IMO).

The advantage of using Rose's is that after you die, you will already have been embalmed :lol: .

At least Stirrings is notably pomegranate. Unless I make my own, I use Stirrings. I don't usually make grenadine syrup anymore. It has never had the strong presence of pomegranate that I like, so I just use pomegranate juice or pomegranate juice concentrate (more often). Between the RSC or PFS or other sweet elements in the concoction, the pomegranate juice has a better result, both in sweetness and flavor.

The way I found out about the quart jars of Aunty Lilikoi was that I asked her if she could ship it to me in a 55 gallon drum. She couldn't do that, but did offer me the undocumented quart jars.

When you get your AL PFS, you end up on a PF drink kick. I went through one quart in about a week. You have to force yourself to slow down.
