Pomegranate molasses is commonly used to blend into drinks and cocktails. It is very sweet and often thick and retains the bright colour of the pomegranate fruit while imparting its flavour to the sugary texture of the syrup. This type of molasses is often enjoyed in Middle Eastern cuisines and can be used in any number of dishes that require something sweet and fruity. Many use it to create sauces for meats and poultry dishes.
