Ingredients
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (peeled and cored)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup simple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
3 cups cold water
1 cup ice cubes
Fresh pineapple wedges and lemon rounds for garnish
Instructions

2. Strain the pineapple puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher and discard all solids.
3. Pour in fresh lemon juice and add lemon zest.
4. Add simple syrup or honey and cold water.
5. Stir everything together until well combined.
6. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice as needed.
7. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the lemonade over the ice, garnish with pineapple wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a fully ripe, golden pineapple for the sweetest and most naturally tropical flavor.
Fresh pineapple gives a brighter and more vibrant taste than canned or bottled pineapple juice.
Frozen pineapple chunks are a great year-round option and blend into a beautifully smooth puree.
Strain the pineapple puree well to remove all fiber for the most refined lemonade texture.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days — stir well before serving as natural separation occurs.
