< PreviousServes 8 Frozen Pink Lemonade Frozen Pink Lemonade ½ cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 large lemons) ½ cup sugar ½ cup unsweetened cranberry juice 1 (7.5-ounce) can lemon-lime soda or ½ cup Fireball Cinnamon Whisky Lemon wheels, for serving Back in the day—that is, the 1200s bce in Egypt—a drink made with lemons, dates, and honey was gaining popularity. Fast- forward a few centuries to 1800s America, where a 15-year-old Henry E. “Sanchez” Allot ran away to join the circus. He was working the lemonade stand and he accidentally dropped red cinnamon candies into the vat, giving birth to pink lemonade! (There’s another origin story where Pete Conklin, another circus employee, used a tub of water, in which a horse rider had just washed her red tights, to make a batch of pink lemonade. But we’re sticking to the not-gross story.) This frozen lemonade uses a more sensible cranberry juice for a perfectly pink color. Make it with soda for an extra-sweet kick or, in a tip of the hat to Henry, a little cinnamon whisky for a spicy kick! 1 In a large liquid measuring cup or a container with a spout, whisk together the lemon juice, sugar, cranberry juice, and 1¼ cups of water. Carefully pour the mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. 2 Add the frozen lemonade to a blender along with the lemon-lime soda. Blend on high speed until smooth and icy, about 2 minutes. Divide among eight glasses and serve with the lemon wheels.
