Ever notice why fair ground lemonade tastes so much better than your average lemonade sold in stores? It’s because they also use this one special ingredient that makes this Pineapple Lemonade stand out from the rest.
Special Ingredient: Pineapple Purée + Agave Nectar
When you combine Pineapple with Agave Nectar, you get something special. The pineapple adds a bright & tangy essence to the lemonade, and the agave nectar brings forth a smooth, rich and slightly caramel-like flavor that adds almost a creamy & sugary taste to the drink. It’s the secret ingredient that set regular lemonade apart from your specialty lemonades.
The Ingredients for Pineapple Lemonade
- 3 liters Water
- 4 Lemons (juiced)
- 1.5 cups Simple Syrup
- 1 cup Agave Nectar
- 1/2 Fresh Pineapple
The Equipment Needed
Craft The Pineapple Puree
Peel, core & spear your pineapple. Then chop them into small segments that can fit into your food processor.
Purée as finely as you can and then set aside.
Squeeze Your Lemons
First take your lemons and roll them on your countertop. Apply firm pressure to release the juices inside of the lemons.
Then slice them in half, and juice them using your Citrus Juicer.
Collect all of the juice and set aside.
Putting It All Together
The best vessel for this Pineapple Lemonade is a nice Glass Juice Dispenser.
In your glass dispenser, combine your freshly squeezed lemon juice, your puréed pineapples, the simple syrup, agave nectar and water.
Pro Tip: The reason you use agave nectar in this recipe is because the agave curbs the acidity of the lemonade a bit and for those of us that have sensitive stomachs, it can mitigate some of the heartburn you might feel after you drink the lemonade.
Give it a good stir so that all elements incorporate together.
Add in your ice and still once more.
Then dispense into tall drink glass (add a pineapple wedge as garnish, if you’d like) and serve.
