Though it’s admittedly the same thing as plain lemonade (+ some coloring), somehow pink lemonade just feels more refreshing and tastes more delicious—right? This original pink drink is sweetly reminiscent of childhood and downright cheerful, thus making it all kinds of perfect for summer fun. While you definitely can’t beat a frosty glass of cool, sweet-tart lemonade, we decided to go beyond the pitcher and apply the pink lemonade flavor profile to everything from breakfast rolls, to party punch, to over-the-top pies and cakes. Pucker up and enjoy.

This incredible cheesecake says, “special occasion” like no other. With a delightedly salty-sweet, crunchy pretzel crust (which balances its tangy filling perfectly) holding layers of pink lemonade curd and pink lemonade cheesecake, all of which is topped off with a striking pile of meringue, this dessert is nothing short of fabulous.

Guests will swoon when you send them home with these pretty treats. The strawberry version is sweet and rosy pink; the raspberry version, deeper mauve and tart. The lemon variation is straight-up puckery perfection. We mix the filling together just before the crust comes out of the oven and then pour it onto the hot crust so that it sets quickly.
