Method

Preparation and mixing

  1. 1

    Juice the lemons to yield about 1 cup of lemon juice, straining out seeds.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl or microwave-safe container, dissolve 3/4 cup granulated sugar in 1/2 cup hot water, stirring until completely dissolved. Let the syrup cool slightly.

  3. 3

    In a large pitcher, combine the 1 cup lemon juice and the cooled sugar syrup. Add 4 cups cold water and 1/2 cup cranberry juice; stir well to blend and color evenly.

  4. 4

    Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a bit more sugar or cranberry juice for color and flavor.

  5. 5

    Chill the pink lemonade in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to help meld the flavors.

  6. 6

    Just before serving, fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the pink lemonade over the ice, and garnish each with a lemon slice.
