Pineapple Lemonade Punch

– 3 cups cold water

– 1 cup Country Time lemonade mix

– 46 oz. pineapple juice

– 1 liter Sprite

– Fresh lemon and pineapple slices (optional)

– Crushed ice

1. **Prepare the Lemonade Base:**

– In a large pitcher, pour the cold water.

– Add the Country Time lemonade mix to the water.

– Use a whisk to thoroughly blend the water and lemonade mix until the powder is completely dissolved.

2. **Incorporate the Pineapple Juice:**

– Once the lemonade mix is fully dissolved, pour in the pineapple juice.

– Stir well to combine, ensuring that the pineapple juice is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

3. **Add the Sprite:**

– Carefully pour the liter of Sprite into the pitcher containing the lemonade-pineapple juice mixture.

– Gently stir the ingredients together to incorporate the Sprite. Avoid stirring too vigorously to prevent excessive fizzing.

4. **Prepare for Serving:**

– If desired, add crushed ice to the pitcher to chill the pineapple lemonade.

– Optionally, garnish the pitcher or individual glasses with fresh lemon and pineapple slices for an extra decorative touch.

5. **Serve and Enjoy:**

– Once prepared, your pineapple lemonade is ready to be served.

– Pour the pineapple lemonade into glasses filled with ice.

– Optionally, garnish each glass with additional fresh lemon and pineapple slices for presentation.

6. **Storage:**

– Any leftover pineapple lemonade can be stored in the refrigerator.

– Before serving leftovers, give the mixture a gentle stir to reincorporate any settled ingredients.

– For a stronger lemonade flavor, you can adjust the amount of Country Time lemonade mix to suit your taste preferences.

– To make the pineapple lemonade extra cold without diluting the flavor, consider freezing some pineapple juice in ice cube trays and using these pineapple juice ice cubes instead of regular ice cubes.

– If you prefer a sweeter or less sweet beverage, you can adjust the amount of Sprite used in the recipe accordingly.
