2 oz absolute citron
1 oz triple sec
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz homemade grenadine (may sub simple syrup)
1 oz cranberry juice

Combine, shake with ice, serve in a chilled martini glass. To kick it up a notch, throw in a shot of pomegranate liquor.

I like the deep red the grenadine brings to the party, especially since I'm not one for pink drinks.

From Good Eats. This is so much better than anything from the supermarket!

4 cups pomegranate juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

For Syrup: Place the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, approximately 50 minutes. It should be the consistency of syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan for 30 minutes. Transfer to a glass jar and allow to cool completely before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to 6 months (I've stored it a lot longer with no problem, but do so at your own risk!)
