I have had great success finding pomegranate juice at middle eastern food 
stores. IF you find some, make sure to read the label. There are several 
variants. One is pomegranate "molasses" as is stated on the bottle. The 
ingredients are paste of pomegranate only. It is very thick and has no added 
sugar or other products. There is a pomegranate juice which may or may not 
have citric acid (maybe for preservation) and sugar in the form of fructose 
etc. The former is what I use to make drinks from as it is pure in content. I 
use 1 Tablespoon to 1 cup water and add some crushed mint leaves and ice if I 
have it. The colder the better! 

I havent' bought the other as I wanted to avoid adulterated juice, but it is 
less expensive.
