You have become my go-to tiki cocktail channel. There is no way you won't blow up. You deserve a shoutout on a larger cocktail channel.

Same here! Although after once watching this video and then trying to quickly find it by searching "make and drink grendine" the search results were anything but this video. Had to go to the channel and scroll through the uploaded videos to find it. So maybe there is something to be improved in the tags or smth? I have no idea how the algorythms work though. That being said, the content is golden 😎👍

Unfortunately YT search does not give you want you want but what they think you want. When I came up with the name it was because I kept saying it to myself, problem is the words are so common and used in any drink and cocktail video description and I never considered that. Maybe when we get to 1M subs things will start showing up 😑

I appreciate that you always answer the question, "Is the juice worth the squeeze?" It might be time to buy some pomegranate arils.

I've been making my own grenadine from pomegranate juice, pomegranate molasses, sugar and citric and malic acids. Tastes wonderful, and not like the sugar syrups available commercially. Have to try your recipe

You're going to be on my phone a lot this summer! I'm challenging myself with getting more used to tiki as a whole.

Don't know if we have pomegranate seeds for sale here in Finland, but have to try this at some point. I know we have fresh pomegranates for sale (imported, obviously). I've never had store bought grenadine in my house, but instead I've made it from pomegranate juice, sugar, pomegranate melasses and rose water. I've been happy with it. I make it 2:1 sugar:juice so it'll basically be good "for ever".

I've been considering getting one of those juicers for the past month or so now. I think you've given me the push I need to finally buy one.

Everything I make out of the Tropical Standard is a winner

Hopefully a Tropical Standard's "winners" video is in the queue.

If I use an immersion blender to extract the juice instead of juicing them with that press do you think it will alter the taste of the Pom juice? Thanks

I've never tried it so unsure how it would turn out

I have that same beaker set. You know you’re dealing with a science bro if they have that nesting set of beakers.

I want to use it more but my dishwasher kills OXO plastic and leaves behind this ugly cloudy staining.

Great content as always! Thoughts on frozen pomegranate arils vs. fresh?

Thank you! Not sure about frozen but I'd imagine it would work just fine and often times frozen fruits will deliver something more consistent then fresh

Whats the song on the background @8:30 ??????????

Where did you buy that corked glass bottle? I couldnt find it in the description

They’re called Crew bottles.

I love this, but why use grams as a unit of measurement? Dry ingredients are not measured that way.

@makeanddrink

Depends on your recipe and goals. Dry ingredients are often measured in grams, but most recipes that call for cups, oz etc mainly because most people don’t have a scale. If you want to make a syrup that has a specific sugar or acid content, you need to use grams. And if you were to give a recipe in cups, tbsp, oz, etc them you’d first have to formulate the recipe in grams or mL and then convert it and that conversion might not equal a standard measuring increment. Weight is just far more accurate than measuring as everyone’s measurements will vary, but weight will not.

@@makeanddrink I appreciate your taking the time to explain. Since most people don't have this type of scale, maybe give both measurements? I have no idea how much volume 1 gram citric acid is (1/8 teaspoon?). If I want to make this (which I do), I would have to do a best guess, which would probably be really far off.
