Today I am sharing with you a recipe that is close to my heart with a modern twist. I’ve used pink pitaya powder to take this homemade pink lemonade to another level!

The Ingredients for Homemade Pink Lemonade

Lemons: The heart of this refreshing drink is lemons of course! They provide the essential tart and zesty flavour that defines lemonade. Fresh lemon juice also offers a natural source of Vitamin C which is ideal at this time of year.
Maple Syrup/Vegan Honey/Sweetener of Choice: Using any of these natural sweeteners is the refined sugar choice and helps to balance the tartness of the lemon. This ingredient can be adjusted according to personal taste preferences and dietary needs.
Ice: Used to chill the lemonade, making it more refreshing and enjoyable, especially on warm days.
Cold Filtered Water: This dilutes the lemon juice and sweetener to create a well-balanced beverage.
Coconut Water: Adds a subtle tropical flavour and natural sweetness. Coconut water is also known for its hydrating properties and electrolytes, making the lemonade more refreshing and hydrating.
Pink Pitaya Powder: This ingredient is key to giving the lemonade its signature pink hue. Pink pitaya (also known as dragon fruit) powder also adds a slightly fruity flavour and is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
Fresh Lemon Slices: This is primarily for garnish but with good reason; it makes the drink so cute!

Fresh Pink Lemonade

My recipe uses freshly squeezed lemon juice, ensuring every sip is packed with the real taste of fresh lemons. Combined with natural sweeteners and a special ingredient for that signature pink hue. You can easily make this drink in a larger batch and share it with friends, keep it refrigerated for whenever the mood strikes. It’s also extremely refreshing after a workout!

How To Make Pink Lemonade

Creating this pink lemonade is a breeze. With just a few simple ingredients and a blender, you can whip up this delightful beverage in no time. It’s the perfect recipe for those seeking an easy yet impressive drink to serve.

How to Serve Pink Lemonade

Serve this pink lemonade over ice for an irresistibly refreshing experience. I love offering this drink to friends when they come over to visit in a cute cup with fancy ice cubes. It really takes this vibrant pink drink to another level! If you make it in a big batch; give it some southern flare and add it to a pitcher with loads of ice!

Tips and Tricks for Making this Homemade Pink Lemonade
