Pineapple Ginger Lemonade Punch

Pineapple Ginger Lemonade Punch is the kind of drink that works just about anywhere backyard cookouts, baby showers, or lazy afternoons.

Tasting Notes

This Pineapple Ginger Lemonade Punch is light, bright, and super refreshing. The pineapple juice adds sweetness and tropical flavor, while the lemonade gives it a citrusy bite. The ginger ale brings everything together with a gentle spice and fizzy finish. It’s not too sweet, not too tart just a nice, smooth blend that goes down easy. You’ll get crisp lemon up front, juicy pineapple in the middle, and a clean, bubbly ginger kick at the end. It’s a crowd-pleaser, perfect for both kids and adults. Serve it cold and it’ll keep everyone coming back for another glass.

Equipment and Glassware

All you need is a large pitcher or punch bowl for mixing and serving. A long spoon or ladle helps stir and serve easily. Use a sharp knife and cutting board to slice lemons and chop pineapple for garnish. If you’re serving a group, clear plastic cups or mason jars work well and show off the punch’s bright color. For small gatherings, stemless wine glasses or simple tumblers are a nice touch. No need for shakers, strainers, or anything fancy just make sure everything’s cold before mixing, and you’re good to go.
