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.
