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.

    Quick question – is the pink lemonade mix to be used supposed to be something like the Country Time brand lemonade mixes (that are pre-sweetened)? thanks!

    I MADE THIS FOR MY SISTER’S BABY SHOWER YESTERDAY, FOLLOWING YOUR RECIPE TO EXACT MEASUREMENTS, AND EVERYONE LOVED IT. I DIDN’T ADD ICE, BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT IT TO WATER DOWN OVER THE DURATION OF THE PARTY, BUT I HAD A BOWL OF ICE NEXT TO IT TO ADD TO CUPS. I ALSO ADDED SOME FROZEN PINEAPPLE CHUNKS TO TOP OFF THE PUNCH, WHICH HELPED TO KEEP IT COOL FOR A WHILE. IT LOOKED BEAUTIFUL AND TASTED EVEN BETTER. I WILL DEFINITELY USE THIS RECIPE AGAIN AND AGAIN!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

    Hi, I saw where you said you had done this with blue raspberry too? What mix did you use for this? I am trying to make a pink lemonade and blue for my gender reveal this weekend but I don’t know what to use. 🙂

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      I use the powder lemonade mix. You can find it in blueberry, if you want blue 🙂 Have fun at your party!!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      PIN is if you use Pinterest & would like to PIN the recipe to one of your boards or you can just print it 🙂

  6. Melissa Reis says:

    Can I make this with frozen lemonade?

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      I have not made this with frozen lemonade. It will change it. I have only used the powder mix. One way to find out 😉

  7. Kirsten says:

    Hi KRISTYN,

    i live in Australia and UNFORTUNATELY, I don’t have access to country time pink lemonade mix (or any lemonade powder mix for that matter). i can HOWEVER find kool-aid SACHETS. WHAT SORT OF RECIPE WOULD YOU SUGGEST ME TRY WITH THE KOOL AID? I have never had KOOL-AID before so am unsure what flavour or how many sachets to get. It is for a pink baby shower and i was hoping to double or even triple the recipe.

    Thanks!

    1. Kirsten says:

      Goodness me. sorry, i didn’t realise that some of that was in caps.

        This has become a family favorite. So delicious!

    2. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Sorry, you can’t find it there. I have not tried this with kool-aid, but it might still be yummy! Maybe do a trial run first 🙂 There is one cup of lemonade mix, so you could just do a cup of kool-aid mix, equal measurements. There is a pink lemonade flavor, so I’d do that one. Good luck!

      1. Kirsten says:

        Thank you for your speedy response. I shall have a play and let fellow Australian’s Know how i go 🙂

      2. Kristyn Merkley says:

        You are so welcome! Good luck!

  8. Ashlie says:

    Do you pEpare the lemonade mix or just add the powder?

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Just add the powder 🙂

  9. Jessica says:

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Hmm..what do you use instead of carbonation normally? Maybe substitute that instead?
