The difference between the real thing and the stuff you get in bottles is tremendous. If you want a martini, just pour a splash of pomegranate juice, the lemon syrup and vodka into an ice filled cocktail shakier. Shake til ice cold and pour into a chilled martini glass rimmed with sugar...a step up from the Cosmopolitan. From the Five Ingredient Fix.
