I’ve been ordering pink lemonade forever and it’s one of my “go-to” drinks whenever we are out anywhere. I’ll admit it, I never knew what made it pink and different than just lemonade. I finally figured it out and was shocked to find it’s cranberry juice! Yep, good ol’ cranberry juice makes this drink extra tasty. I started making it at home and use a simple sugar recipe to make it sweet, refreshing and just the perfect Summer drink! Enjoy!

May 8, 2015 at 4:00 pmNot wanting to come off rude, but it doesn’t mention when to add Cranberry juice…Most will be able to figure out, but I know a few people who would probably forget about the juice completely lol. Just tossing that out there so maybe it could be added??(: Sorry if this came off as rude.
