Pink Lemonade, Beyoncé Approved!

This pink lemonade is so sweet and sour, even Queen Bey will approve… as long as you don’t give it to Becky with the good hair.

What is pink lemonade?

For years I thought it was a plot to get kids to drink more lemonade (just like the colored ketchup of the early 2000s). And that might be the case since many store-bought pink lemonades are colored with food dye. When making it at home though, the way you get your lemonade to be pink is to use red fruit. This not only adds color but extra flavor too. You can use crushed strawberries or raspberries. But I do it more simply by adding a touch of cranberry juice, just enough to get the color you want.

The cranberry juice adds that hue of pink (like a flamingo) and makes this pink lemonade very addicting!
