Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups of fresh pineapple juice
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 4 cups of water
- Ice cubes
- Pineapple slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and pineapple juice, ensuring they are well mixed.
- Add the sugar to the juice mixture and stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Use a long-handled spoon to mix well and ensure no sugar crystals remain at the bottom.
- Gradually pour in the cold water and continue stirring to create a smooth, well-blended lemonade base.
- Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if needed, or dilute with additional water if too strong.
- Fill serving glasses with ice cubes to keep the drink chilled and refreshing.
- Pour the pineapple lemonade over the ice, filling each glass approximately 3/4 full.
- Garnish each glass with a fresh pineapple slice on the rim for an elegant and tropical presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the cool, tangy, and sweet summer beverage.
Tips
- Use freshly squeezed juices for the most vibrant and authentic flavor. Store-bought juices can work, but they won't match the brightness of fresh ingredients.
- Adjust the sugar to your taste preference. Some prefer a more tart drink, while others enjoy a sweeter profile.
- For an extra-fancy presentation, freeze some pineapple chunks to use as ice cubes - they'll keep your drink cold without diluting the flavor.
- If you want to make this an adult beverage, a splash of rum or vodka can transform it into a delightful summer cocktail.
- Chill your serving glasses beforehand for an extra-cool and refreshing experience.
- For a more intense pineapple flavor, you can blend fresh pineapple chunks before juicing for a more robust tropical taste.
