Notes

Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the syrup to ensure the best flavor.

Raspberry Syrup: Make sure to strain the raspberry mixture well to remove any pulp and seeds for a smooth syrup.

Lemon Juice: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor.

Chilling: If time allows, chill the raspberry syrup, lemon juice, and water before combining them in the pitcher. This will ensure that your pink lemonade is nice and cold when served.

Stirring: Stir the raspberry syrup, lemon juice, and water mixture well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Garnish: Adding fresh raspberries and lemon slices not only enhances the presentation but also adds a burst of flavor to each glass.

Presentation: Serve the pink lemonade in clear glasses to showcase its vibrant color.

Ice Cubes: Use plenty of ice cubes to keep the pink lemonade cold while serving. You can also freeze some raspberries or lemon slices into the ice cubes for an extra decorative touch.

Experiment: Feel free to experiment with the ratio of raspberry syrup to lemon juice to suit your taste preferences.

Quality Control: Taste-test the lemonade as you go to ensure that it meets your standards for sweetness and flavor intensity. Adjust ingredients as needed.
