Boozy Cherry Pineapple Lemonade Punch
I have had a lot of fun this Summer making fun pineapple drinks, including this Cherry Pineapple Lemonade Punch. A splash of maraschino cherry juice gives this fun drink an ombre effect, and the cherries are so perfect for garnishing with some pineapple chunks. I just love the tropical twist combined with traditional lemonade with this drink, and it is so yummy!
This drink is perfect for sipping on a hot afternoon, the lemonade and pineapple juice make it extra refreshing.

To make this drink, here’s what you’ll need
- Lemonade- make your own fresh squeezed, or we also love Simply Lemonade
- One can of pineapple juice (canned works fine)
- One jar of maraschino cherries (no stems), plus the juice.
- Pineapple, fresh, sliced to garnish
- Optional: Pineapple flavored vodka
You don’t have to add the vodka for this drink to be delicious, but it does make a nice addition to make this drink a cocktail.
Here’s how to make it- start by filling your glass with several cubes of ice. Add a splash of cherry juice to the bottom of your glass, followed by 1/4 cup of pineapple juice. Next, add 1/2 cup of lemonade.
If you’d like to add vodka to this drink, mix your lemonade and vodka separately before adding to the drink, so you don’t have to stir and mess up the pretty colors!
Finally, garnish with maraschino cherries and sliced, chunked pineapple. Leave the rind on for a fun, tropical look for your drink.
The ice helps keep this ombre effect, but to be sure it turns out perfect, try to pour your ingredients slowly. This will keep the liquids from mixing too much when you create these drinks. For a printable version of this Boozy Cherry Pineapple Lemonade Punch, see below!
