Pineapple Lemonade
Ingredients:
- 1 large (46 oz) can of pineapple juice 🍍
- 2-3 cans of Sprite (depending on your preference for fizz) 🥤
- 3-4 cups cold water 💧
- 1 cup Countrytime Lemonade mix 🍋
- Fresh lemons (optional, for garnish and extra zing) 🍋
- Fresh pineapple (optional, for garnish and added flavor) 🍍
- Ice (as needed) ❄️
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Pitcher
- Choose Your Pitcher: Use a large pitcher (about 2 quarts) to fit everything comfortably and make stirring easy.
- Add Water: Pour 3-4 cups of cold water into the pitcher. For a sweeter lemonade, use 3 cups; for a more diluted, less sweet version, go with 4 cups.
Step 2: Mix in the Lemonade Mix
- Add Lemonade Mix: Pour about 1 cup of Countrytime Lemonade mix into the water. Stir well until it’s fully dissolved and forms the base of your Pineapple Lemonade.
Step 3: Incorporate Pineapple Juice
- Add Pineapple Juice: Pour in the entire 46 oz can of pineapple juice into the pitcher. If you want a milder pineapple flavor, you can use 3/4 of the can. Stir thoroughly to combine it with the lemonade mix.
Step 4: Add Sprite for Fizz
- Add Sprite: Pour in 2-3 cans of Sprite for a fizzy touch. Start with 2 cans, taste it, and if you want more fizz, add the third can. Stir gently so you don’t lose too much carbonation.
Step 5: Final Touches
- Add Ice: Fill the pitcher with ice to keep it cool. The ice will also slightly dilute the drink, balancing the sweetness.
- Garnish (Optional): For extra flair, add slices of fresh lemon and chunks of fresh pineapple. This will not only make it look extra summery but also enhance the flavors.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve: Pour the Pineapple Lemonade into glasses filled with ice, and garnish with a slice of lemon or pineapple if desired.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best flavor and fizz!
Tips:
- You can adjust the amount of lemonade mix or pineapple juice based on your sweetness preference.
- For a fun twist, try using a flavored soda like lemon-lime or pineapple soda instead of Sprite.
- If you’re into extra zing, add a splash of lime juice!
This Pineapple Lemonade is the GOOOOOOOOOD way to hydrate, celebrate, and enjoy those sweet, fizzy vibes! Cheers! 🍹🌞
