Pineapple Lemonade Punch – Nana’s Refreshing Party Favorite
Some recipes just taste like home. For me, this Pineapple Lemonade Punch is one of them. My Nana used to make it every summer without fail — a tall, sparkling pitcher would be waiting on the table whenever family gathered in the backyard. It’s sweet, tangy, tropical, and so easy to put together that it almost feels like cheating.
Fast-forward to today, and it’s still a crowd-pleaser at every cookout, picnic, or lazy Saturday afternoon. We make a huge batch, pop it in the fridge, and sip on it for days. Honestly, it’s like summer in a glass.
