JUST FOOD COLORING

red food coloring

The food die. DUH!!!!!!

depends on what it is made with some pink lemonades are made with a touch of fruit juice like fruit punch, but more than likely in either case its food coloring.....

pretty sure it's just a little red food coloring.

Depending on the recipe, it is usually pink because it also contains either cranberry, raspberry, or ruby red grapefruit juice. The Hi-C stuff you can buy is probably just food coloring.

Grenadine (non-alcoholic red syrup) makes it pink.. The addition of grenadine makes for the traditional variant called Pink Lemonade. In the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, the term refers to a clear, carbonated, sweet lemon-flavoured soft drink. Grenadine is used as an ingredient in cocktails, both for its flavour and to give a pink tinge to mixed drinks. "Grenadines" are also made by mixing the syrup with cold water in a glass or pitcher, adding ice or not.

The name "grenadine" comes from the French word grenade for pomegranate, as grenadine was originally prepared from pomegranate juice and sugar. However, "grenadine" is also a common name loosely applied to syrups and beverages consisting of other fruit juices (e.g. raspberry, redcurrant, blackberry) and sugar syrup. The characteristic flavor can be obtained from a mixture of blackcurrant juice and other fruit juices with the blackcurrant flavour dominating.

The food industry, however, has widely replaced grenadine fruit bases with artificial ingredients.

The pink lemons, of course!

There's no such thing as a pink lemon. So I searched a few sites to find out what makes pink lemonade. All the sites I searched for pink lemonade included cranberry juice. So there is your answer, good old cranberry juice!

Pink lemonade is pink because they add pink food coloring to regular lemonade. That is the only difference. While it became popular in the 1950's, it may have originated during prohobition, when people were often looking for ways to make the beverages on their tables more interesting
