Ingredients
- 4 cups water, divided
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 to 4 tablespoons grenadine
Method
- Heat 2 cups of the water with the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the liquid turns clear and every grain of sugar has dissolved.
- Let that syrup cool slightly while you juice enough lemons for 1 1/4 cups of juice, straining out the seeds as you go.
- Combine the lemon juice, the cooled syrup, the remaining 2 cups water and the grenadine in a large pitcher, starting with 2 tablespoons of grenadine for a blush colour.
- Refrigerate the pink lemonade for at least 2 hours so it is properly cold, then serve it over plenty of ice.
