Pineapple Lemonade
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.
