- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (about 1 small pineapple)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 5-6 lemons)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice cubes for serving
- Pineapple slices for garnish (optional)
- Lemon wheels for garnish (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Place the fresh pineapple chunks into a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and juicy, about 1 minute.
Pour the blended pineapple through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher to remove the fibrous pulp, extracting as much juice as possible.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar to the pitcher. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Pour in the cold water and stir well. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the flavors meld and the lemonade is perfectly chilled.
Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour in the Pineapple Lemonade, garnish with pineapple slices, lemon wheels, and fresh mint if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
