The lemon oil will brighten up the flavor of the Pom and give it that little extra bit of sparkle on the tongue. You could do the same with Orange peel if you prefer. On a related note.... if you have a Middle-Eastern/Turkish/Greek market available poke around the shelves and see if you can find Pomegranate Paste/Syrup/Goo(because I can't translate the Arabic any other way). There are many brands and types so look carefully for the bottle that is just concentrated Pom with sugar. You can make a pretty good small-batch Grenadine with about 3 tablespoons, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 ounce light rum (or vodka).
