Ingredients
- 3 cups cold water
- 1 cup Country Time lemonade mix
- 46 oz. pineapple juice
- 1 liter Sprite
- Fresh lemon and pineapple slices (optional)
- Crushed ice
Instructions
Prepare the Lemonade Base:
- Ensure you have a large pitcher, a whisk, a measuring cup, and a spoon handy.
- Pour 3 cups of cold water into the pitcher.
- Add 1 cup of Country Time lemonade mix. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine until the mix is fully dissolved. This creates your zesty lemonade base.
Add Pineapple Juice:
- Gradually pour 46 ounces of pineapple juice into the pitcher with the lemonade base.
- Stir gently to blend the flavors together. The pineapple juice will add a tropical sweetness that complements the tart lemonade.
Add the Fizz:
- Slowly pour 1 liter of Sprite into the pitcher. Allow the fizz to mingle with the lemonade and pineapple juice without stirring too vigorously to keep the drink effervescent.
Add Fresh Fruit (Optional):
- If using, add slices of fresh lemon and pineapple to the pitcher. These will infuse the punch with extra flavor and enhance its presentation.
Serve the Punch:
- Fill glasses with crushed ice to keep the punch chilled.
- Ladle the punch over the ice in each glass, ensuring each serving is cool and refreshing.
- Optionally, garnish each glass with more lemon and pineapple slices for a festive touch.
Storing and Serving Tips:
- If not serving immediately, store the punch in the refrigerator to keep it chilled and allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir the punch gently before serving to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
This Pineapple Lemonade Punch is simple to make and deliciously satisfying, offering a perfect way to cool down on a warm day.
