Tropical Lemonade in a glass with a slice of lemon and a straw

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of fresh lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)
  • 4 cups of cold water
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup of pineapple juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Slices of lemon and fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by juicing the lemons until you have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Remove any seeds you might find because we don’t want those to get in the way of our refreshing drink.
  2. In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and pineapple juice. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, throw in some chopped fresh pineapple for an extra tropical touch!
  3. Next, add the cold water to the mixture. Give it a good stir, taste it, and see if you want to adjust the sweetness or tartness. If it’s too tangy, a bit more sugar will do the trick. If too sweet, add a splash more lemon juice.
  4. Once you have it just right, chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows all those delicious flavors to meld together.
  5. When you’re ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled tropical lemonade over the top. Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint to make it pop.
  6. Enjoy your homemade tropical lemonade, and be prepared to be transported to a sunny beach wherever you are!

There you have it, the best way to cool down and brighten your day with a glass of tropical lemonade. Perfect for sipping while soaking up the sun or enjoying a laid-back evening with friends. Cheers!
