Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Lemons
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 6 cups Water
- 1 cup Cranberry juice
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon slices
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Roll the lemons on a countertop to loosen the juices, then cut them in half and juice them into a bowl or pitcher. Remove any seeds but leave some pulp for added flavor.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves. This creates a simple syrup.
Allow the simple syrup to cool for about 5 minutes.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, cooled simple syrup, and the remaining 5 cups of water. Stir well.
Add 1 cup of cranberry juice to the mixture and stir to create the signature pink color.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, then pour the pink lemonade over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a fresh mint leaf for added aroma and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing homemade pink lemonade!
