2 dash
A commonly used syrup made from pomegranate juice, characterized by a flavour that is both tart and sweet, and by a deep red colour. Coming from the French spelling of pomegranate, 'grenade.' To make it yourself (don't buy it premade) combine 100% pomegranate juice (like the Pom Wonderful brand) with equal parts sugar by mass. We always use 1:1 syrup unless otherwise noted in the recipe itself.

The second most common juice used in cocktails. This citrus juice is about 6% acid; 4% from citric and 2% from malic, with small amounts of succinic acid (this is what gives it a little bloody taste). Lime juice should be used the day it is squeezed, some like it freshly squeezed and others like it a few hours old.

Created at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, thought to be by the Bartender Ngiam Tong Boon around 1915, but this is not true. The drink was a stale in Singapore before 1897; David Wondrich notes. The original is debatable, this version from Dale DeGroff, is surely not, but it is still pink, and good; as made by the Raffles Hotel in the 1990s.
