How to Make Pineapple Lemonade

Juice the Lemons
Roll the lemons on the counter to loosen them, then cut and juice them. Remove any seeds, but keep some pulp for extra flavor. -
Mix the Juices
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and pineapple juice. Stir well. -
Sweeten to Taste
Add the sugar and stir until fully dissolved. Start with 1/2 cup and add more if needed, depending on how sweet your pineapple juice is. -
Add Water and Ice
Pour in the cold water and stir again. Toss in a cup of ice to chill it instantly. -
Chill and Garnish
Serve in glasses over ice. Garnish with lemon slices, pineapple chunks, and fresh mint leaves for a beautiful and refreshing touch.
