Fireball Pink Lemonade

What It Is

Pink lemonade gets a grown-up Canadian shove from cinnamon whisky and grenadine. It is sweet, tart, spicy and very much not the beverage to hand the children just because it is pink.

Origin

A Spoon & Scribble party-drink mash-up built around pink lemonade and cinnamon whisky.

Fun Fact

Pink lemonade is usually coloured with fruit juice or colouring; it does not require naturally pink lemons to exist.

Substitutions

Use equivalent ingredients where needed for allergies or availability, but keep the main sweet/sour/salty/spicy balance intact. This is cooking, not a hostage negotiation.

Storage

Keep covered and chilled. Fresh-fruit or dairy drinks are best used within 1–2 days; fizzy drinks are happiest served the same day before the bubbles file for retirement.

Freezing

Freeze still fruit bases or concentrates if useful, but add carbonation after thawing. Dairy-heavy drinks are better made fresh.
