Homemade Pineapple Lemonade

Pineapple lemonade is a cold and refreshing drink. It’s sweet, tart, and free of caffeine. The recipe calls for bottled or canned pineapple juice, so you can make it at any time of the year.

Since pineapple juice is naturally sweet, no sugar is needed. This makes it a great alternative to store-bought lemonades.

Ingredient Notes

• Pineapple juice: Use any canned or botteled pineapple juice without any added sugar. I like the canned pineapple juice the best.
• Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice tastes better than the bottled kind. Use ripe lemons for this drink. You can tell a lemon is ripe and juicy if it feel heavy for its size. Avoid lemons that are mushy, soft, or discolored. 
• Water: For the best flavor, use filtered water.
• Ice: Make the ice cubes with filtered water if possible.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Recipe Notes

Use freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Lemon juice from fresh lemons will always taste best. Use a citrus juicer to squeeze lemons quickly. For this drink, you’ll need 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, which is juice from about half a medium lemon.

Adjust the ratio of juices.

If you want a stronger pineapple flavor, add a bit more pineapple juice. For a stronger lemon taste, add extra lemon juice.

Prepare the lemonade in advance.

Make the pineapple lemonade ahead of time. Store it in the fridge, without ice, in a covered container for up to 3 days.

Expert Tips

• This pineapple lemonade is already naturally sweetened from the pineapple juice, but you can make it sweeter with simple syrup. Start with 1 teaspoon, taste, then add more if needed.
• Add strawberry syrup or ginger syrup to make a flavored lemonade.
• After pouring the lemonade over ice, enjoy it immediately. Otherwise, the ice will dilute the drink.
• Garnish this pineapple lemonade with fresh mint or lemon slices.
