What is strawberry grenadine?

Strawberry grenadine is a syrup made with pomegranate juice, sugar, and natural or artificial strawberry flavoring.

 It is commonly used as a flavoring in cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, such as Shirley Temples, Tequila Sunrises, and Roy Rogers. Grenadine syrup is also used in cooking and baking as a sweetener and flavoring agent.

Strawberry grenadine is similar to regular grenadine, but with the added flavor of strawberry. It is often made by combining strawberry juice or extract with grenadine syrup. 

The sweetness and fruitiness of the syrup can vary depending on the specific recipe or brand. Overall, strawberry grenadine adds a sweet and fruity flavor to drinks and desserts, and is a popular ingredient in many recipes.
