This pineapple lemonade recipe is the ultimate summer refresher — sweet, tangy, and tropical. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a pitcher in minutes that tastes like pure sunshine.
Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, lounging by the pool, or looking for an easy summer punch, this drink is guaranteed to cool you down and perk you up all at once. Serve it ice‑cold with a slice of lemon on the rim and watch everyone ask for seconds.
Spring was slow to arrive here, and we welcome these warm summer nights. In this punch, lemonade gets a touch of smooth sweetness from pineapple juice, and together, they have a definite tropical vibe. When you add ginger ale, you get a touch of added sparkle and a hint of fizz.
You only need a handful of ingredients, and they’re all easy to find. I used frozen pineapple juice concentrate, lemonade concentrate, and sugar-free ginger ale. Scrub and dry the lemons before slicing them. Use them to float in the lemonade and garnish the glasses for a festive touch.
It only takes a few minutes and a few simple ingredients to stir up this gorgeous drink and put it in the fridge to chill.
Garnish with thinly sliced lemon and pineapple rings or spears if desired.
Pineapple lemonade looks amazing in a pretty pitcher or dispenser—it just looks and feels festive!
Choose some fun glasses that suit your party vibe- tall and skinny, or, in my case, short and chunky with embossed bees (of course!) They're a cherished gift from my daughter.
For adults-only get-togethers and girlfriend gatherings, you may want to add some alcohol. Tito’s Vodka is a good choice for adding to pineapple lemonade because it adds a neutral alcohol flavor that complements the tartness of the lemonade.
Vodka is a clear, colorless spirit distilled from grains or potatoes and has a relatively neutral taste and odor. When added to this pineapple lemonade, vodka can enhance the overall flavor profile and provide a subtle kick of alcohol.
The amount of vodka in a cocktail depends on the recipe and the desired strength of the drink. Typically, vodka cocktails call for anywhere from 1 to 3 ounces per serving.
It’s always a good idea to start with the smallest amount of vodka and only add more as needed to ensure it’s balanced and to your liking. However, take it easy when adding vodka, as it has a high alcohol content.
If you choose to add vodka to your lemonade, be sure to drink responsibly. A good host will always have food available when serving alcoholic beverages and never let guests drink and drive.
It would be best to add the ginger ale close to when you will serve the pineapple lemonade to retain as much fizz as possible. Serve over ice and garnish as you like. This is a lovely beverage for summer enjoyment!
