Notes
- Chill all ingredients for several hours before making this beverage and only add ice when serving.
- Skinny Pink Lemonade Cocktail
- Instead of using a sparkling lemonade or Sprite lemon-lime soda, use Key Lime LaCroix or Limoncello LaCroix, or use club soda for a less sweet version.
- By the Glass Pink Lemonade Vodka
- This recipe makes 8 servings, use the toggle on the recipe card and reduce the number of servings to one. Try pouring the juices into a cocktail shaker with a little ice, shake 10-15 times, pour over ice, and add your sparkling lemonade.
- Pink Lemonade Mocktail
- Try this Seedlip Citrus a vodka/gin alternative. Or you can leave the vodka out altogether for a simple Pink Lemonade, adding an extra splash of sparkling lemonade or seltzer.
- Variations
- In place of pomegranate juice, use cherry juice, raspberry juice, guava juice, fruit punch (sweeter) or try my bright Strawberry Syrup.
- Use all fresh squeezed lemon juice or all lime juice.
- Instead of vodka, you can also use gin (try some of the botanicals) or light rum. Use tequila and make into a pink lemonade margarita
- Change up your mixer; use pink lemonade, limeade, Sprite (or your favorite lemon lime soda), or your favorite sparkling water for this vodka punch recipe
- Muddle some fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint or fresh thyme sprigs in the bottom of the glass.
