Can triple sec subsitute for grenadine?

Answer 1

Cointreau and Grand Marnier are all types of triple sec or triple dry which itself is a Curaçao, a liqueur made from orange peels. You can't replace it with anything though you can make triple sec at home (from dried orange peels, vodka and sugar or, better "still", from orange peels, brandy and sugar, but you need at least a month to age the stuff).

As flavor substitute lieu of triple sec you can try 1) orange syrup mixed with cognac or brandy or 2) orange essence (like flavor for baking) with sugar and brandy/cognac or anything you can think of that has the taste of bitter orange peel / cognac combination.

Answer 2

They do not have anything in common other than a high sugar content.

Triple Sec is a liqueur made of orange rinds and although it is way less sweet than its cousin Curacao it is still quite sweet. Being that it is quite sweet and has a citrus flavor it would probably be a good addition to any drink calling for grenadine but is not one bit close in flavor to it at all. Grenadine is a syrup made from the juice of the pomegranate (although often just a light sugar syrup dyed red with a touch of acetic acid added)

Also keep in mind grenadine is non-alcoholic, Triple Sec is not.

Answer 3

Both of them are orange-ish liqueurs, but they're not identical in taste. If that doesn't particularly bother you, sure, go ahead.
