Expert Tips

  • Simple Syrup - Feel free to prepare the simple syrup ahead of time so it is ready when you make this pink lemonade.
  • Chill - Before serving the lemonade, we like to chill for about an hour in the fridge for delicious results.

Substitutions and Additions

  • Sparkling Water – We love sparkling water and mixed with the pink lemonade recipe. You can use equal parts of sparkling water or club soda.
  • Adult Version – Mix 1 cup of Pink Lemonade with ¼ of of vodka or gin. This would be perfect for an adult party or you just want to enjoy a cocktail.
  • Add Fruit - When I make this lemonade for parties, I like to add in fresh raspberries or strawberries. Not only does it look pretty, but it adds flavor to the lemonade.
  • Sugar - We like our pink lemonade to be sweet, but you can reduce the sugar if you prefer it to not be as sweet or substitute with honey. You can also use a sugar substitute if you prefer for the perfect blend of sweetness.
  • Lemon Juice - We prefer to use fresh lemon juice, but you can use lemon juice in a jar.
  • Regular Lemonade - You can also take out the cranberry juice and just regular lemonade.
