Why Are Pink Lemonades Pink?

What makes lemonade pink? Pink lemonade often gets its pink color from red dye, cranberry juice, grenadine, or strawberries. I wanted to skip the food coloring completely, so I opted to use fresh watermelon to give this lemonade its color.

What's the point of pink lemonade?

Pink lemonade is just as cool and refreshing. Interestingly enough, pink lemonade is often preferred over lemonade simply because people enjoy the pink color, but also because it is not as sour with the added fruit flavors. Think of pink lemonade as lemonade with a twist. You can make your own pink lemonade.

What exactly is pink lemonade?

It's a rose-tinted beverage made from lemon juice, sugar, water, and some sort of red or pink dye (natural or artificial) for coloring.
