Ingredients You’ll Need
These are some really basic ingredients for this tangy, fruity cocktail! I’ve noted all of the things that can be swapped out to make a great pink vodka lemonade using what you have available on hand, plus some awesome hints or flavor ideas!
For lower-calorie drinks, feel free to swap out diet soda or sugar-free sodas.
- Lemon-Lime Soda – use your favorite brand of lemon-lime soda! 7Up, Sprite, Sierra Mist, Slice, Mt Dew Ice, and any of the generic store brands will all work wonderfully in this easy cocktail! Pssst! Sprite has a Cranberry-Lemon flavored version that could save you an extra ingredient too!
- Vodka – any of your popular vodka brands like Absolut, Smirnoff, Ketel One, Ultimat, Beluga, Belvedere, or Grey Goose will be perfect in this vodka cocktail! For an extra special fun vodka to use, try Pink Whitney by New Amsterdam! It’s a flavored vodka that already tastes like pink lemonade, so all you have to do is add your bubbly soda and some lime juice!
- Lime Juice – don’t forget the lime juice for the perfect citrus ‘punch’ of flavor! Do use freshly squeezed lime juice if you can, as it is much more flavorful than bottled lime juice! Plus you can slice a few pieces to muddle in each glass before serving. Yum!!
- Cranberry Juice – adds a tart and tangy flavor as well as the distinctive pink color!
My homemade pink lemonade uses lemons and cranberries, so it’s no surprise that I’m adding them here! If you want to use frozen pink lemonade concentrate, it takes this down to 3 simple ingredients!
Muddling some lime slices isn’t the only quick and flavorful addition that can make this vodka cocktail superb. If you love Malibu’s coconut rum, try adding a splash to the mix for a wonderful hint of the coconut flavor!
