Notes
Serving suggestions:
- On the rocks. On a hot summer day, add handfuls of ice to your Homemade Pineapple Lemonade. As the ice melts, you’ll have a softer-flavored lemonade on your hands.
- Sparkling water. Pour about 1/4 cup Homemade Pineapple Lemonade into glasses. Then add handfuls of ice and pour sparkling water over the top. Gently stir everything together so the flavors have a chance to blend. While I haven’t tried every flavor of sparkling water, I do think lemon, lime, or grapefruit would taste delicious with Homemade Pineapple Lemonade.
- Flavored ice cubes. Pour your Homemade Pineapple Lemonade into ice cube trays and freeze them. When you’re in the mood for a flavorful drink, add them to sparkling water or Agave-Infused Homemade Lemonade.
- Soft drinks. Add a dollop of Homemade Pineapple Lemonade to lemon lime soft drinks.
