    There is nothing better than an ice-cold lemonade on a hot summer day. This pineapple mint lemonade is refreshing, sweet, and cool - a new summer staple.

    Freshly squeeze lemons are the star of the show, combined with subtly sweet pineapple juice. It's topped off with a refreshing mint simple syrup - made with fresh mint leaves.

    If there's one note to make about this recipe, it's that fresh ingredients are a must!

    Lemon juice, freshly squeezed, has a much better taste than a lemon juice concentrate.

    If you don't have a garden at home, grab a bundle of mint leaves on your next shopping trip. They can be found in the produce section of your grocery store.

    While this recipe is non-alcoholic and safe for kids, you are welcome to make your own additions. Readers have enjoyed this lemonade with a shot of bourbon mixed in, stating that it was reminiscent of a whiskey sour.

    Your favorite clear liquor, like rum or vodka, would also work well.

    Ingredients

    Mint simple syrup

    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • ½ cup water
    • ½ cup mint leaves, packed

    Lemonade

    • 2 cups pineapple juice
    • 1 cup lemon juice
    • 2 cups water

    Instructions

    • In a saucepan over medium heat, add granulated sugar, water, and mint leaves. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar dissolves. Lightly muddle mint leaves with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Allow to steep until room temperature, about 15-20 minutes. 
    • Meanwhile, add pineapple juice, lemon juice, and water to a pitcher.
    • When cooled, pour simple syrup mixture through a sieve to remove mint leaves. Add to juice mixture and stir until well combined. (Add more water as needed to achieve desired sweetness.)
    • Refrigerate, or serve over ice and enjoy. Optionally garnish with additional mint leaves and lemon wedges.

    Equipment Recommendations

    • Glass Pitcher
    • SS 3-Quart Saucepan
    • 9" Fine Mesh Strainer
    • Pyrex Liquid Measuring Cups

    Notes

    • 6-8 lemons will give you about 1 cup of lemon juice, depending on size.
    • Homemade lemonade will keep for 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator.

      If I want to reduce the amount of sugar, would I also be reducing the amount of water and mint when boiling?

        Hi Jessica, I'd reduce the amount of sugar and water when making your simple syrup. No need to reduce the mint!
