#Drink Recipe >> Cherry Pineapple Lemonade
This recipe calls for frozen pineapple juice, for the sake of ease. If you want to use fresh pineapple juice, that would work just fine too. You’ll just need to add a little less water to the drink mixture, since it isn’t concentrated.
If you haven’t seen maraschino cherry syrup around before, it’s usually kept in the drink mix isle, where the grenadine and margarita mixes are. Add as much or as little as you like. I like a LOT of cherry syrup in mine. And don’t be afraid to add more maraschino cherries to garnish your drink. I prefer 7 or 8. My daughter prefers the whole jar.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 recipe Lemonade Base, chilled
- 1 can Frozen Pineapple Juice
- 1 bottle Maraschino Cherry Syrup(found in the drink mix section of the grocery store)
- Water
- Maraschino Cherries
- Pineapple slices(for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a very large pitcher, mix together the lemonade base and thawed pineapple juice.
- Add water to the pitcher to taste, leaving the lemonade a little bit on the strong side because it will be poured over ice.
- To Assemble:
- Pour 1-2 tablespoons of cherry syrup in the bottom of a glass(depending on how much syrup you prefer). Fill the glass with ice. Pour the pineapple lemonade slowly over the ice until the glass is full. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and a slice of pineapple.
