Ingredients You’ll Need
We’ll start by making a simple lemon syrup that adds a gentle citrusy depth. Then we’ll blend up fresh fruits for that rich, golden flavor. Here’s everything you need:
🍋 For the Simple Syrup:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- Lemon peels from 2 lemons
🥭 For the Lemonade:
- 1 pineapple, diced (reserve ½ to add later into the drink)
- 2 mangoes, diced
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 6–8 lemons)
- 2 cups cold water
- The simple syrup you just made
- Ice cubes 🧊
How to Make It (It’s Easy!) 💛
Step 1: Make the Simple Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and lemon peels. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves. Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and let it steep for 15 minutes. This step adds a subtle citrusy kick to your syrup.
Step 2: Blend the Fruit
In a blender, combine the mangoes, half of the diced pineapple, and 2 cups of cold water. Blend until completely smooth.
Step 3: Mix Everything
In a large pitcher, stir together the mango-pineapple purée, fresh lemon juice, and your homemade lemon syrup. Mix well.
Step 4: Adjust & Chill
Add 2–3 more cups of cold water (or sparkling water for a fizzy twist). Give it a taste—need it more tangy? Add more lemon juice. Want it sweeter? A splash more syrup will do the trick. Serve over ice and toss in the reserved pineapple chunks for extra texture. ✨
Make It Your Own 🌈
- Sparkling Lemonade: Use soda water instead of still water for bubbles.
- Frozen Version: Blend it all with ice to make a slushy.
- Herb-Infused: Add a few mint leaves or basil for a fresh twist.
