Excellent cocktail. Living in California we have our own pomegranate trees and make our own Grenadine to our specifics which has less sugar.
Important that you use the best gin you can afford. We used very herbal California gin which allowed all the ingredients to shine.

A true dessert drink Martini. The slight savoury notes of the grenadine (homemade from fresh juice of course), pairs really well with the herbaceousness of the dry vermouth, with the botanicals of the gin taking a step back. I do have to say that it is not for sore dry palates.

Great cocktail, although the key thing is the gin. Pick one you genuinely like the taste of and you can’t go far wrong.
