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.
Conclusion
I always turn to this pineapple pink lemonade punch for its simplicity, festive color, and fizzy yumminess. Whether it’s a summer cookout, shower, or casual get-together, it’s a guaranteed hit—and I love how easy it is to customize too.
