Grenadine is a commonly used, non-alcoholic bar syryp characterized by a flavour that is both tart and sweet, and by a deep red colour. It is popular as an ingredient in cocktails, both for its flavour  and to give a reddish/pink tint to mixed drinks.

Grenadine is commonly used to mix both modern and classic cocktails, such as the Tequila Sunrise, original (1920s) Sea Breeze, or La Tomate .

Grenadine is also a popular ingredient in some non-alcoholic drinks, such as the Roy Rogers, pink lemonade and Shirley Temple cocktails, or simply by mixing the syrup with cold water in a glass or jug, sometimes with ice.
