Cherry Lemonade Cocktail with Pineapple Rum
This Cherry Lemonade Cocktail is a must if you like sweet cocktails that are easy to make and fun to drink! The pineapple rum adds tons of flavor and that bright pink color looks great in any glass!
Add this Pineapple Rum Cherry Lemonade to your must-make list!
The sweet and sour taste is perfect to sip year round and this quick recipe is ready in just minutes!
And while I prefer to make my own lemonade to keep this drink tasting super fresh, you can save even more time by using store-bought lemonade!
Ingredients
- Lemons: I prefer Meyer lemons because they are a touch sweeter than a traditional lemon.
- Maraschino cherries: there’s nothing quite like a jar of maraschino cherries for adding a sweet, fruitiness and fun color to any cocktail. Don’t try to use a more natural version. It just won’t do it.
- Pineapple rum: the pineapple rum takes this adult lemonade a tropical place and I love it. But you can use regular rum or a different type of flavored rum if you prefer.
How to Make Spiked Cherry Lemonade
Step 1
Make your basic lemonade .
Step 2
Add the cherry juice. Boom. Simple. Delicious.
Step 3
Add the pineapple rum.
Top with a cherry, of course.
The color is so bright and cheery and the taste is familiar but with a twist. Make this Cherry Lemonade Rum Cocktail next time you want to sip something sweet and fun.
Tips
I like to squeeze my extra lemon juice in to ice-cube trays and freeze it so I always have fresh juice around and can thaw as much or as little as I need.
Of course, you can leave out the pineapple rum, but why? You’ll need it for when the show gets super suspenseful. Of course, don’t put it in the kid’s version. Duh.

Thank you for supporting the brands, like Netflix, that let me do what I enjoy and share it with you!
yum. yummmmm. I love adult drinks. and I love me some PLL (I Netflix binge watched all the seasons until the latest, which I watched live). You need to check out Bloodline. Netflix only released 1 season so far, but its omgsoawesome.
I LOVE Bloodline! SO good!!
I’ve never watched the show, but I’ll pretty much do anything if it permits the having of cocktails.
Everything should have its own themed cocktail, right? ;)
