*previously posted in DigBoston Recent LUPEC inductee Heather Mojer turned a year older Wednesday!

Grenadine is NOT from grenada & simple syrup is NOT simple
Posted in Dale Degroff, David Wondrich, Grenadine, Paul Clarke, simple syrup on July 23, 2008 | 3 Comments »
by Pink Lady While putting together this week’s Weekly Dig column on syrups I became intrigued about the origins of grenadine.

But when, exactly, did this delicious syrup become a fashionable mixer? While writing [...]
