Pineapple And Lemon Juice

 

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

Approximately 1 cup of 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 hold all the ingredients and allow for easy stirring.

Add Water: Pour 3-4 cups of cold water into the pitcher. Use 3 cups for a sweeter lemonade or 4 cups for a less sweet, more diluted version.

Step 2: Mix in the Lemonade Mix

Add Lemonade Mix: Pour about 1 cup of Countrytime Lemonade mix into the water. Stir well until the mix is fully dissolved to form the base of your Pineapple Lemonade.

Step 3: Incorporate Pineapple Juice

Add Pineapple Juice: Pour the entire can (46 oz) of pineapple juice into the pitcher. If you'd prefer a milder pineapple flavor, use 3/4 of the can. Stir thoroughly to combine the pineapple juice with the lemonade mix.

Step 4: Add Sprite for Fizz

Add Sprite: Pour 2-3 cans of Sprite into the pitcher for a fizzy touch. Start with 2 cans and taste; if you want more fizz, add a third can. Stir gently to avoid losing too much carbonation.

Step 5: Final Touches

Add Ice: Fill the pitcher with ice to keep the drink cool. The ice will also slightly dilute the drink, which helps balance the sweetness.

Garnish (Optional): For a more vibrant presentation, add slices of fresh lemon and chunks of fresh pineapple. This not only enhances the flavor but also gives the drink a fun, summery look.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve: Pour the Pineapple Lemonade into glasses filled with ice. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon or pineapple if desired.

Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best flavor and fizz!

This Pineapple Lemonade is the ultimate refreshing drink for a sunny day or any gathering! 🍍🍋
