What it is
This is a frozen concentrate made from pink lemonade. It is a fruit drink that offers a convenient way to enjoy a refreshing beverage. The concentrate is designed to be diluted with water, transforming into a ready-to-drink pink lemonade. It captures the classic tart and sweet flavor profile associated with traditional lemonade, with a hint of berry for its characteristic pink hue.
How people cook with it

To prepare a pitcher of pink lemonade, simply empty the contents of the frozen concentrate can into a pitcher. Add the recommended amount of cold water, typically four cans' worth, stirring until the concentrate is fully dissolved. For a slushy consistency, blend the concentrate with ice and a smaller amount of water. It can also be used as a mixer for adult beverages or as the foundation for homemade frozen popsicles, offering a delightful balance of sweet and tart.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pre-mixed lemonade, this frozen concentrate requires dilution, allowing for customization of sweetness and tartness. The frozen form ensures a long shelf life and a concentrated flavor that is preserved until ready for use. Its pink color comes from added fruit juice, distinguishing it from clear lemonades.

How to keep the rest
After preparation, store any remaining pink lemonade in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Unused frozen concentrate should be kept in the freezer at or below 0°F (-18°C) to maintain its quality and flavor until you are ready to use it.
