Description
Pink Glitter Lemonade is a fun, sparkling drink with edible glitter and citrusy sweetness—perfect for parties, birthdays, or baby showers!
Ingredients
These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor and sparkle:
For the Pink Lemonade Base:
-
🍋 1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
-
💦 4 cups cold water
-
🍓 ½ cup pink syrup (raspberry, strawberry, or pink lemonade concentrate)
-
🍯 ½ cup sugar (or to taste; honey or agave works too)
-
🧊 Ice cubes, for serving
To Make It Sparkle:
-
✨ ¼ tsp edible glitter (silver, pink, or holographic—food-grade only)
Optional Add-ins:
-
🫐 Fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
-
🌿 Mint leaves for garnish
-
🍋 Lemon slices or wedges
-
🧃 Sparkling water or lemon soda for a bubbly version
-
🍸 Optional alcohol: vodka, pink gin, or sparkling rosé for grown-ups
Instructions
Step 1: Make the lemonade base
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, cold water, and pink syrup of your choice. Stir in the sugar, adjusting the amount to your taste. Mix until fully dissolved.
Step 2: Add the sparkle
Sprinkle the edible glitter into the pitcher and stir gently. You’ll start to see the magical swirl of shimmer take over the drink. Don’t over-stir or you’ll reduce the effect—let it float and shine.
Step 3: Chill and infuse
Let the lemonade sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill and let the flavors blend. If adding berries or mint, toss them in now so they infuse the drink naturally.
Step 4: Prepare to serve
Fill glasses with ice cubes, add optional fresh berries and mint, then pour the pink glitter lemonade over the top. Garnish with a lemon wedge, a fresh mint sprig, or even a sugared rim if you’re feeling fancy.
Step 5: Sip and sparkle
Serve immediately with a fun straw and enjoy your gorgeous, glittering lemonade!
Notes
Even though it’s a drink, a few notes help it shine:
-
Use fresh lemon juice bottled just won’t have the same brightness.
-
Make sure to use edible glitter that’s FDA-approved—not all craft glitter is food-safe!
-
Syrup can be homemade or store-bought. Torani, Monin, or homemade strawberry simple syrup all work.
