Pineapple Lemonade is the perfect summer drink! My whole family devours this drink in minutes! And it is ridiculously easy to make.

I love homemade fruity drinks like Watermelon Lemonade, Pineapple Ginger Drink and Mango Juice.

A Case For Homemade Drinks

Have you ever ordered a fruity lemonade at a restaurant? It comes with a hefty price tag and the taste is not half as good as the one you make at home.

When you make your own homemade drinks, you know exactly what goes into them. And you can always adjust the drinks to suit your preferences.

Do you want it less sweet? Omit the sugar and sweeten with only fruit. Do you want it more lemony? Add more lemon! Growing some mint in your backyard? Throw some in!

Truly the possibilities are endless when you make your own drinks at home. Rewarding and refreshing!

The Ingredients

For this Pineapple Lemonade Recipe, you only need 3 ingredients:

  1. Pineapple. You could either peel a whole pineapple or you could just use already peeled pineapple from the supermarket. If you are in a hurry, you could use pineapple juice in a heartbeat.
  2. Lemon. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
  3. Sugar. Or any sweetener of choice. You could also make your lemonade sweetener-free. The pineapple would still lend some sweetness to it.
