Pineapple Lemonade Recipe

When I first tried making Pineapple Lemonade at home, I wasn’t sure how good it would taste. But after one sip, I was blown away by the tropical sweetness and citrusy freshness. It’s light, fizzy, and the perfect drink to brighten up any day.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • n flavor and presentation.
  • 1 quart lemonade homemade or store-bought – gives a citrusy base; homemade lets you control sweetness.
  • 46 oz pineapple juice chilled – adds tropical sweetness and balances the lemon tang.
  • 4 cups Sprite chilled – brings in the fizz without watering down the flavor.
  • 1 large lemon sliced – fresh lemon slices boost aroma and presentation.
  • 8 oz pineapple chunks – adds texture and a juicy bite in every glass.
  • Mint sprigs optional – fresh mint makes the drink refreshing and vibrant.

Method
 

  1. Begin by ensuring all beverages—lemonade, pineapple juice, Sprite—are well chilled. This minimizes the need for ice, keeping your punch flavor intact. Slice the lemon into thin rounds; fresh slices not only look great but add a tangy aroma that elevates the drink.
  2. Pour the lemonade and pineapple juice into your pitcher or punch bowl, stirring gently to marry their flavors. Slowly pour in the Sprite to preserve its effervescence, giving a light stir so the fizz remains lively and refreshing.
  3. Drop in the lemon slices and pineapple chunks, stirring gently to distribute. If desired, garnish with fresh mint sprigs tucked among the fruit. Refrigerate the punch for up to 1 hour before serving—or serve immediately over ice if you're ready to enjoy right away.
  4. Serve the punch in glasses, ensuring each gets some garnishing fruit and perhaps a mint sprig. The flavors meld wonderfully as it sits, so you may notice even brighter notes after chilling.
