The quality of your pomegranate (grenadine) syrup will make or break this cocktail. (Perhaps even better with groseille syrup.)

Second time around I had to add a heart to the five stars!

Agreed. Even better on the second pass. I neglected the additional dilution the first time, but it greatly benefitted from it. Ultimately derived from a Manhattan I suppose, but the delicacy of the aromatics make it almost an “improved Manhattan cocktail” in style. I again went with a couple of mL of apple cider vinegar to freshen up the commercial pomegranate syrup.

Interesting, the added apple cider vinegar. Might try that. I've got a pint jar of canned mountain huckleberries, been wondering what to do with. Cocktails it is!
