Pineapple Lemonade Punch

This Pineapple Lemonade Punch is my go-to drink for warm days, parties, or any time I want something sweet, refreshing, and packed with fresh citrus flavor. It’s incredibly easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few ingredients, I get a tropical, tangy drink that tastes like sunshine in a glass.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how quick and simple this punch is to make—no complicated prep or fancy ingredients needed. It’s bright, fruity, and perfectly sweet with a refreshing balance of pineapple and lemonade. It’s great for summer gatherings, barbecues, or just keeping a pitcher in the fridge to sip throughout the day. I can also dress it up with fresh fruit slices or turn it into a fizzy mocktail with soda.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 3 cups cold water

• 1 cup Country Time lemonade mix

• 2 cups pineapple juice (chilled)

• 1 liter lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP), chilled

• Optional: fresh lemon slices, pineapple chunks, or mint for garnish

• Optional: ice cubes, for serving

Directions

1. I start by mixing the cold water and lemonade mix in a large pitcher or punch bowl. I stir until the mix is fully dissolved.

2. I pour in the chilled pineapple juice and give it another quick stir.

3. Just before serving, I add the lemon-lime soda to keep the punch fizzy and fresh.

4. I serve it over ice and garnish with lemon slices, pineapple chunks, or fresh mint if I have them on hand.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 10–12 servings.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

Variations

Sometimes I mix in orange juice or mango nectar for a twist on the tropical flavor. If I want it less sweet, I add more cold water or use diet soda. I’ve also frozen some of the punch in ice cube trays and added them to the pitcher to keep it cold without watering it down.

Storage/Reheating

This punch is best served fresh, but I store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. I keep the soda separate if I plan to save some for later, so it doesn’t go flat. When ready to serve again, I just add fresh soda and give it a stir.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I mix the water, lemonade mix, and pineapple juice in advance and keep it chilled. I wait to add the soda until right before serving.

Can I make it without soda?

Definitely. I’ve made it with just pineapple juice and lemonade mix, and it’s still delicious—just less fizzy.

What can I use instead of lemonade mix?

I’ve used homemade lemonade (sugar, lemon juice, water) as a substitute. I just adjust the sweetness to taste.

Can I turn this into an adult punch?

Yes, I sometimes add a splash of vodka, rum, or sparkling wine for a grown-up version. I mix it in right before serving.

What’s the best way to serve this at a party?

I serve it in a large punch bowl or drink dispenser with lots of ice and fresh fruit floating on top. It looks beautiful and tastes even better.

Conclusion

Pineapple Lemonade Punch is one of the easiest, most refreshing drinks I make. It’s sweet, citrusy, and full of tropical flavor—the kind of drink I want to sip on all summer long. Whether I’m hosting a party or just relaxing at home, this punch always brings a splash of sunshine to the table.
