Pink punch is, by far, our family’s FAVORITE drink.

We have this pineapple lemonade soda at most family functions because it’s easy, refreshing, and of course, SO delicious. Pink party punch only requires three ingredients and can be made in a minute, which is also a bonus.

We can’t remember where we got the recipe because we’ve been having it for years, but we can promise you this – if you try it, you’ll LOVE it! It’s especially good to drink on a hot summer day because it is quite refreshing.

We love delicious, refreshing drinks that are kid-friendly!! This version is a classic at parties, baby showers, weddings, and holidays. For more favorites, check out Cherry Limeade, Sprite Lemonade, and our delicous Blue Punch.

Why we think you’ll love it:

  • Only 3 ingredients! That’s it, just Sprite, pink lemonade powder, and pineapple juice for one fabulous drink.
  • Party perfect. That vibrant color instantly adds a fun and celebratory touch to any gathering.
  • Ready in minutes. This fizzy drink is ready in no time! You can easily jazz it up with fresh strawberries or a slice of pineapple to make it even more fun.

Pink Punch Ingredients and Substitutions

  • 1 (48-ounce) can DOLE pineapple juice – We use DOLE pineapple juice, but other brands can be used.
  • 1 cup pink lemonade mix – or another flavor of lemonade
  • 1 (2-liter) bottle Sprite or 7UP – or another lemon-lime soda or ginger ale

How to Make Pink Punch

  1. MIX. Add pineapple juice and lemonade mix to a large pitcher. Right before serving, add 2 liter of Sprite and mix well. Add ice and ENJOY!
  • This punch looks so delicious and pretty in a glass pitcher, bowl, or beverage dispenser. To really make it shine, add sliced lemons, pineapple rings, and strawberries.
  • Do not mix the powder with water as stated on the can. You are only using the lemonade powder in the recipe.
  • Be sure to mix the lemonade with the pineapple juice. If you add the powder last, then it will fizz so much that it overflows.
  • Pink lemonade is our favorite to use, but regular yellow lemonade, blue raspberry lemonade, or cherry limeade lemonade mix can be used.
  • Ice cubes can melt and water down the punch. We like to add complementary frozen fruits to the punch bowl. Another idea is to make a small batch of punch ahead of time and freeze it into ice cubes.

    Thank you for this amazing recipe. I’m definitely going to try this.

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      It is our favorite!! I hope you like it and thank you so much!

  2. Traci says:

    Can you freeze this to use later?

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      That’s a good question! I haven’t tried! One way to find out 🙂

  3. Sheri A says:

    I can’t find pink lemonade mix anywhere (I live in Calgary, AB, Canada). Would it work if I bought Frozen Pink Lemonade?

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      It needs to be the powder. It turns out differently with the already made frozen lemonade. Can you order it online?

      I made the recipe as directed. I added lemons and frozen raspberries. The presentation was beautiful. On taste-too much pineapple juice. I’d add 3/4th of the can and taste test it. It’s ok as written, but too much pineapple juice.

      1. Kristyn Merkley says:

        Thank you for trying it 🙂

  4. alondra reyes says:

    I have a question…..
    Do i make l pink lemonade 1st with water then add the juice and sprite?
    Or do i mix the powder to the sprite and juice?

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      No, don’t make pink lemonade first. You add the powder to the juice & I like to add the sprite or 7up right before I serve it. Hope that helps and hope you like it!! It’s our favorite go-to drink!

  5. Teresa Miller says:

    Was the question ever answered if the recipe is 1 liter or 2 liter Sprite?

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      It is one 2 liter bottle 🙂

  6. Tanya Ingram says:

    About how many will this serve? I’m using for a baby shower and expect 16 people.

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      Don’t know an exact number, but it should be enough for 16 people. I always double the recipe for parties, only because it’s so good & you’ll want more 🙂 Have fun!

  7. Tanya says:

    Have you ever added strawberries? I wonder how it would taste.

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      I haven’t, but it sounds yum! Let me know if you try!

  8. Laura says:

    I made this using a whole 2-liter (sugar free) instead of 1 liter, and it was delicious. I served it to a party of adults, and everyone had seconds, including my husband, who’s not a big punch fan. Our house guests even had some for breakfast the next morning!

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      We love this recipe!! It’s our go-to drink recipe, especially for parties!! Thanks so much for sharing!
