Notes

  1. Adjust Sugar to Taste: The sweetness of the pink lemonade can vary based on personal preference and the natural sweetness of the raspberries and lemons. Taste the mixture after straining and before adding the lemon juice and cold water. Adjust the amount of sugar accordingly to achieve your desired level of sweetness.
  2. Strain for Smooth Texture: Straining the raspberry mixture before adding it to the pitcher ensures a smooth and seed-free texture for your lemonade. Use a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any seeds and pulp, leaving behind a vibrant and clear liquid base for your drink.
  3. Chill Thoroughly: For the most refreshing experience, chill the pink lemonade thoroughly before serving. Allow it to cool to room temperature after straining, then refrigerate until well chilled. Serving the lemonade over ice enhances its crispness and ensures a refreshing sip every time.
