Why This Recipe Slaps

This isn’t just another lemonade recipe. The pineapple adds a tropical twist, while the pink lemonade keeps it nostalgic. Carbonation? Oh, it’s there—light, bubbly, and perfectly balanced. Plus, it’s customizable. Want it sweeter? Add more syrup.

Prefer it tart? Squeeze extra lemon. It’s basically the MVP of summer drinks without the effort of, say, building a sandcastle. For something even lighter, refresh with pineapple coconut water between meals or after workouts.

Ingredients To Make Pineapple Pink Lemonade 

• 2 cups pineapple juice (fresh or bottled, but fresh tastes like vacation)
• 1 cup pink lemonade concentrate (thawed, unless you enjoy chipping ice)
• 3 cups sparkling water or club soda (because flat soda is a crime)
• Ice cubes (optional, but who drinks warm lemonade?)
• Fresh pineapple slices or lemon wedges (for garnish, aka the flex)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix the juice and concentrate. In a pitcher, combine pineapple juice and pink lemonade concentrate.
   

   Stir like you mean it.

   
   
2. Add the fizz. Gently pour in sparkling water. Stir lightly—you want bubbles, not a science experiment gone wrong.
3. Ice it up. Drop ice into glasses first (prevents dilution, FYI), then pour the soda over it.
4. Garnish and serve. Toss in a pineapple slice or lemon wedge. Pretend you’re at a beachside bar.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in a sealed pitcher or bottle in the fridge. Drink within 24 hours—the bubbles will abandon ship after that.

Pro tip: Don’t freeze it unless you enjoy pineapple slushies (which, honestly, isn’t the worst idea).

Why You’ll Love This Recipe : The Pineapple Pink Lemonade 

It’s faster than ordering takeout, cheaper than Starbucks, and tastier than your last relationship. The pineapple packs vitamin C, the lemonade wakes up your senses, and the soda? Pure joy.

Plus, it’s kid-friendly (swap sparkling water for ginger ale if they’re extra fancy).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Over-stirring the soda. You’ll murder the bubbles. Stir gently, like you’re petting a tiny, carbonated dog.
• Using warm ingredients. Cold everything = crisp, refreshing perfection.
• Skipping the garnish. It’s 80% of the vibe. Don’t be lazy.

Alternatives

• No pineapple juice? Mango or passionfruit juice works.
  

  Improvise.

  
  
• Not into pink lemonade? Regular lemonade + a splash of cranberry juice for color.
• Need it boozy? Add a shot of vodka or rum. You’re an adult; we trust you.
• Pair this with a caffeine-free tea that pairs perfectly for a sweet, balanced day.

FAQs About Pineapple Pink Lemonade 

Can I use fresh lemons instead of concentrate?

Sure, but you’ll need to make a simple syrup to balance the tartness. Mix 1 cup sugar with 1 cup water, simmer until dissolved, then combine with fresh lemon juice.

IMO, concentrate is faster.

Is there a sugar-free version?

Yep. Swap pink lemonade concentrate for a sugar-free version and use diet sparkling water. Just know it might taste like “almost heaven” instead of the real deal.

Can I batch-make this for a party?

Absolutely.

Multiply the recipe, but add the sparkling water right before serving. Nobody likes sad, flat soda.

Why does my soda taste metallic?

You’re using a reactive metal pitcher or spoon. Switch to glass or plastic.

Chemistry wasn’t your fault, but this is.
