I’m a southern belle who can hand roll fresh lemonade with the best of them. But honestly ain’t nobody got time for that Martha Stewart honor badge. I’m just saying we can get honor badges another day for fresher squeezed lemondae. Today I’m sharing my fake it to you make it pineapple infused lemonade recipe.
First, go to grocery store and buy 4 frozen lemondae drinks, some pineapple juice & the secret real lemons. Yeah, we need real lemons to pull off this trick.
Make the lemondae according to instructions except substitute pineapple juice for 1 cup of water. Then cut up lemons and drop in pitcher or drink dispenser.
That’s the secret and nobody will ever know. Unless you tell them about the secret. It’s better than buying it premade lemondae in the bottle and cheaper.
Shh it’s our secret!
There are so many ways to make the display pretty and inviting. I like to serve mine chilled with vintage glasses. I collect them for occasions when I get to play hostess.
I get the chance to escape to an era when dinner parties were a thing. I get to dress up and entertain friends and family. Even play a game or two. The nostalgia is everything to me and add some liquor and make it a spiked cocktail.
Yes, spiked and you can even freeze it and make frozen drink. I perfer the ice cubes shaped like pineapples and lemons. Then go ahead and play some music on the record player. My niece’s and nephews love that I have a record player. And not to mention I actually have Outkast on vinyl. The best of La face records. Found it at a thrift store for 39 cents.
Let me know if you try it!
