Ingredients

• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 cups water
• 1/4 cup pink lemonade syrup (homemade or store-bought)
• Ice cubes
• Slices of lemon for garnish

Instructions

In a large pitcher, mix together the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Add the water to the pitcher and stir well to combine.

Add the pink lemonade syrup and stir gently to incorporate.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

To serve, pour the hot pink lemonade over ice cubes in glasses and garnish with a slice of lemon.

Serve immediately and refresh often!

Notes

You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, especially if you’re using a sweeter pink lemonade syrup. For a stronger lemon flavor, use 1 1/2 or 2 cups of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

If you’re short on time, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, but the longer it sits, the better the flavors will meld together.

You can make this recipe ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Experiment with different types of citrus fruits, like limes or oranges, for a unique twist on this recipe.

To make this recipe more festive, garnish with edible flowers or a sprig of rosemary for a beautiful and refreshing drink.
