Pink Lemonade


ot sure if its the summer doing it or its just me but lately I have been enjoying making different kinds of lemonades. Takes few ingredients, minimum effort and the result is a tasty drink that everyone enjoys and you get compliments for as they come back from school or work and feel the need to cool down. This is one such in the series that I made lately.
As the weather warms up, if you are craving for something cold, bright, crisp and refreshing, this is the drink for you! Pretty, romantic and glamorous and a color that is to die for. This drink always leaves an impression. The fabulous hint of the berrylicious fresh cranberry flavor riding over the base of refreshing citrus of lemons, this drink has the taste that you will remember and will want to come back often to.
A wonderful thirst quencher on a hot summer day or any day for that matter. Pink lemonade makes for a delicious party drink or for just a casual get together.
Ingredients:



Cranberry Juice
3/4 cup (I use light ocean spray) 
Sparkling water/chilled water
2-3 cups
Lemon Juice
1/2 cup (fresh squeezed)
Ice
as needed
Sugar syrup -

Water
1/2 cup
Sugar
1/2 cup



Method:
1. In a saucepan, combine sugar and water and simmer until the sugar is dissolved, 5-7 minutes. Cool till comes to room temperature.
2. Mix lemon juice, cranberry juice syrup and water together in a pitcher. Pour over ice filled glasses and garnish with a lemon twist and few mint leaves. ENJOY!
Notes:
1. If you are in the mood, feel free to add some vodka, wine or rum.
