Does the Trader Vic's grenadine contain any actual pomegranate juice?  The 
ingredients aren't listed at the website.  I assume TV's is artificially 
flavored (like Rose's).

Anybody else prefer Trader Vic's grenadine to Rose's?  

Anybody tried Trader Vic's Orgeat or Passion Fruit syrups?  Any natural juices 
or flavorings in those?

One more:  anyone tried the Fee Bros' American Beauty grenadine?  Ted "Dr. 
Cocktail" Haigh (cocktaildb.com; Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails) 
recommends it as a real, pomegranate-based grenadine.  Oddly, the Fee Bros. 
website (feebrothers.com) fails to mention this.  Seems to me that being one 
of the very few grenadine's actually based on real pomegranate juice would be 
a pretty strong selling point.

Thanks.

Kurt
