I made this drink over the Labor Day holiday and it was really good, a little to sweet for me but I can adjust that. We did end up adding some limoncello for the adult drinks and it tasted ALOT better!! Will be making again...THANKS!!

I love lemonade & I love pineapple so this is a match made in heaven. I used tap water rather than seltzer water as I wanted to keep it for a few days and didn't want it to go flat in the fridge. I made a half serve but found that it needed a lot more water than was called for, from a half serve of juices & syrups I ended up getting about 1.5 litres of lemonade so I think I ended up adding about 4 cups water for a half serve which was still lovely & sweet but not syrupy sweet. Great recipe & one I'm sure I will make again. Thanks Annacia!

We love lemons and pineapple! We made this a bit simpler by using pre-sweetened pineapple juice and just mixed that with 1/2 cup sugar, the lemon juice, and seltzer. We served it in a pitcher filled with ice and although we didn't have mint leaves for the garnish, but we still enjoyed this refreshing drink! This is a winner!
