When I want a bright and crowd-pleasing drink, this is my favorite pick. It’s totally quick, with zesty pink lemonade, pineapple juice, and loads of bubbly soda making it vanish at every get-together.
The first time I made this was at a baby shower when I just grabbed things from the pantry. People liked it so much they wanted to know how I made it before the party even ended.
Delightful Ingredients
- Sprite or 7UP: adds all the fizzy sparkle and a citrusy lift Make sure you use a bottle that's just been opened for the best bubbles
- Pink Lemonade Mix: pours in that rosy color and a tasty punch Pick one with real fruit flavor for something extra good
- DOLE Pineapple Juice: makes everything sweet and sunny Try to get pure pineapple juice for big flavor
- Pick pineapple juice without fake stuff or added sugars A tried-and-true pink lemonade mix gives that photo-worthy blush color And letting your Sprite or 7UP get nice and cold first makes all the difference
Easy-Peasy Steps
- Add Ice and Pour:
- Fill glasses or your pitcher with lots of ice first so everything stays frosty Serve it right away to keep things crisp and fizzy
- Top It Off with Fizz:
- Pour in the Sprite or 7UP just before you’re ready to enjoy Gently give it a swirl—don’t stir too much or you’ll lose the bubbles
- Mix Your Juices:
- In a big pitcher, combine pink lemonade mix and pineapple juice Mix it up so the drink base is totally smooth and all the powder’s gone

I love how you taste that burst of pineapple every time Seriously, my niece said this was the cutest drink she’d ever seen and wouldn’t let go of her little umbrella
Keep It Fresh
This one tastes best right after you mix it up You can stash extras in the fridge (covered) for up to two days, but the bubbles will fade After the base is ready, wait till right before serving to add the soda for a fresh fizz
Swaps and Options
No lemon lime soda? Club soda works great if you crave something less sweet No pineapple juice? Blend up canned pineapple with water and strain it Cutting back on sugar? Try diet soda and lighter lemonade mix instead
Fun Ways to Serve
Pour it over ice in tall glasses for a chill treat Pop in fresh berries, edible flowers, or pineapple slices to make it fancy Ginger ale or fruit sparkling water will shake things up, too Adults can splash in a bit of vodka or rum for a summery twist
