Very interesting replies below to you comment. I found Jeffrey Morgenthaler's 2009 recipe online (though now he doubles up on sugar so 2:1). Anyway, I dont have the sort of juicer needed and I tried using a carton of fresh juice but in my view, fresh pomegranate juice tastes of very little (Morgenthaler do add some pomegranate molasses...). Until now, I have been using the very good House Grenadine recipe from the Cocktail Codex book by Alex Day, Nick Fauchald and David Kaplan but replacing the cartoned juice with 100 % pomegranate concentrate without sugar (bought in a local Turkish grocery store), and mix it - 60 % vol. part water 40 % vol. part concentrate. The Cocktail Codex recipe: 250 g juice, 0,15 g pure orange blossom olie (the key ingredient in orange blossom water) which I lower to 0,12 g, 1,85 g powdered malic acid, 1,25 g powered citric acid and 250 g unbleached cane sugar. In my first years of being a cocktail enthusiast, I just used cranberry concentrate being commonly available here in Denmark, and it worked very well (just lacking a bit of orange taste). I would never use the mainstream, artificial grenadine - it is like strawberry ice creme without strawberry.

Outstanding cocktail, my favorite take on a champagne cocktail , for sure better, deeper, more interesting than the traditional champagne cocktail.

I should mention that I do prefer only 1 dash orange bitter and only 1 dash booker's/bogart's bitters. And I use Merlet Soeurs Cerises Liquer instead of Herring's. Gives a more subtle cherry taste, which I prefer, so you still taste the cognac and the champagne.

This Bourbon Fruit Cup cocktail is a very pleasant taste experience, which is quite a statement on my side. A generation ago, I joined a research group at Wye College in Kent being one of the few, continental European master students attracted by the college's reputation in the horticultural / landscaping circles. And of course, I went to London to be inspired by the (still) amazing Chelsea Flower Show. At the show, I had to taste the ever present Pimm's Cup cocktail and it was definitely not to my taste (sorry, Englishpersons). Unbelievable, I stayed away from fruit cups ever since - only a few sangrias in certain settings. And now I tried this for me new cocktail, which I will enjoy again for sure. Thank you, Simon.
