The bottle says "natural and artificial flavors" but does not mention 
"pomegranate juice"...

TV's passion fruit does have "passion fruit concentrate" in the ingredients. 
Their orgeat only has "natural flavors" in the ingredients. I'm not really 
sure how to interpret "natural flavors."

I haven't, but now I will make sure to get ahold of some. I was reading in Joy 
of Mixology about how to make one's own grenadine using pomegranate juice and 
simple syrup (1 part syrup to 3 parts pomegranate juice). Since I can buy 
pomegranate juice in the store around here, I was thinking of giving that a 
try.
