Variations

I sometimes swap in yellow lemonade powder or blue raspberry lemonade mix for a flavor twist.
Adding frozen fruit like pineapple rings, lemon slices, or strawberries doubles as ice and garnish.
For a slushy version, I freeze the combined pineapple juice and lemonade mix, then add soda when serving for a fizzy slush punch.

The soda loses fizz over time, so I prefer finishing it fresh.
No reheating needed—this drink is best served cold or over ice.

FAQs

What brands of juice and soda work best?

I usually use a well-known pineapple juice and any lemon-lime soda I have on hand. It all blends nicely either way.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! I mix the pineapple juice with the lemonade powder and refrigerate it for a day or two, then add the soda right before serving to keep it bubbly.

How can I make it slushy?

Freezing the juice and lemonade mix into cubes or a block, then adding the soda before serving, makes a fun slushy version.

Is this kid-friendly?

Absolutely. I serve it at baby showers and kids’ parties all the time—it’s nonalcoholic and sweet, and kids love it.

Can I make it for larger parties?

Yes! This recipe is easy to scale up. Just increase the amounts of pineapple juice, lemonade powder, and soda accordingly.
