Pour yourself a burst of sunshine with this Pineapple Lemonade Fizz.

When I was a kid, the kitchen filled up with summer smells every time I’d slice pineapple with my grandma. These days, my kids love helping pick their favorite fruit to toss on top. It always turns out so pretty and they love snapping pics.
Chill and Keep
If there’s any punch left, scoop out the citrus slices so it stays sweet and chill in the fridge for a day tops. The sparkle goes away fast, so just pour in more soda or sparkling water when you’re ready for a refill.
Other Ingredient Ideas
No fresh pineapple? Canned works just fine in a pinch, especially if it’s packed in juice. Sub coconut water with more pineapple or even toss in mango nectar if you want something different. Limes swap in for lemons if you like it tangier.
How to Serve
This punch is a hit at picnics showers or whenever you want your table to stand out Pour it big pitchers or in a punch bowl and use a ladle to serve Add even more prettiness and flavor by tossing extra fruit and some mint in every glass For grownups just swirl in some coconut rum and let the party start
