I like to use fresh raspberries or fresh blackberries when I make this easy pink lemonade recipe. You can use whatever fresh berries or summer fruit you have on hand.

Tips to keep summer beverages chilled
I have a pretty smart trick to keep your summer beverages chilled. Slice a bunch of lemons or limes. Place one slice of lemon or lime into each cup of a cupcake pan, pour water over the slices until they are just covered. Freeze overnight.
Then when you're ready to serve a pitcher of Easy Fruity Pink Lemonade pop the frozen citrus slices out of the cupcake pan and add them to the pitcher.
This is a great way to add extra flavor and to keep your Pink Lemonade chilled at the same time.

So fresh, beautiful and tasty! A few years back, I added a bag of frozen raspberries to a pitcher of lemonade...and had a few requests for the recipe. Such a wonderful combo 🙂
