Homemade Raspberry Peach Lemonade
Well, it has been a long four days … but we made it through and found a house for my parents!
My parents arrived last Thursday and we hit the ground running searching for homes. My mom had a list of about 75 homes she wanted to look at. But mother nature had other plans.
Thursday evening Houston had a HUGE storm come in that nailed us with torrential downpour rain for 3 days straight. In Houston when it rains it pours. We actually get more rain per year than Seattle and Seattle is KNOWN for being a rainy city… so that’s saying something.
Thursday, while on our house hunt, we ran out a couple times in the rain and it wasn’t too bad, However, day two was a whole another story! The areas we were looking in started to get flooded, the creek we live near was at an all time record high and had caused major flooding in areas nearby.
Around 3:30pm on Day Two, while we were headed to another house I made the executive call to head back to the house with Cason. The roads were getting really bad and my little car almost got stuck a couple of times, in fact going through the flood waters tore something off my car. I felt my heart racing faster and fear creeping in. It was time to head to safety. So Cason and I headed back while my parents headed back out … turns out they could only look at one more house before they had to stop too.
Day Three came and the rains came and went for a little bit. Mike and I ran out to do some errands, then headed back to our neighborhood to find that our cul de sac had backup from the storm drains .. the creek had so much water and the water had no place else to go but back up. In a matter of 3 hours our cul de sac had knee high water. We weren’t going anywhere.
Even though we had flooding that left us house bound, we were some of the lucky ones. The water didn’t reach our house. But the people in the neighborhood nearby lost a lot of their things. I drove by the next day, after the flooding had subsided, and there were couches, mattresses, dry wall, installation, tables, all kinds of things on the driveway ready for the garbage men to clean up. People had lost so much in a matter of hours. Truly crazy! There were some homes that we passed that were completely under water!!
Makes you thankful for the little things for sure! The sad thing is we are slated for more rain and thunderstorms Tuesday-Thursday this week!
To say we are ready for a little sunshine is an understatement!
I never thought I’d say this, living in Houston, but we need the summer sun to come! Heat and all …
And then I’ll be sitting by the pool … or out on my driveway coloring with chalk sipping on this Homemade Raspberry Peach Lemonade Recipe! So light, refreshing, not overly sweet, the perfect amount of tartness and a slight peach taste.
This drink is so refreshing you’ll be making it year round! It’s the perfect drink to cool you down this summer!

Pink lemonade is sometimes colored with cranberry juice, raspberry juice or crushed strawberries, but it's more often colored with red food dye. This may come as a surprise to some, but it's a vast improvement from the way it was dyed when first appearing on the beverage scene in the mid 1800s.
Combine raspberries, lemon juice and sugar in a blender; process until well blended, about 45 seconds. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a serving pitcher; stir in water. Serve over ice; garnish with raspberries and a lemon slice, if desired.
It's not strawberry lemonade, red raspberry lemonade, or any other red fruit-flavored lemonade. They have their own recipes. Pink lemonade is just regular lemonade with red coloring.
Lemonade and pink lemonade aren't very different aside from the food dyes used to make lemonade pink. However, some pink lemonade is flavored with raspberries, strawberries, grapefruit, or other fruits that give it a more natural pink color and a sweeter and fruitier flavor.
You can make pink lemonade by adding your food coloring of choice to regular lemonade. Natural food colorings typically used include cranberry juice, grenadine, and crushed raspberries or strawberries. You can even use beets for a naturally pink lemonade on the more vibrant end of the color spectrum!

We're combining bright, sweet, and tart raspberries with classic homemade lemonade, and they go amazingly well together. In fact, this is probably my favorite lemonade version on the blog!
The ingredients for “pink lemonade" are: Sugar. Add red or pink dye ( natural or artificial) for colouring. Such as: cranberry juice, crushed strawberries, granadine and grape fruit juice.
The lawsuit revolves around labeling Simply Tropical and Simply Orange as “All Natural” and “made simply,” which the Simply Orange Juice class action lawsuit alleges to be false due to the discovery of synthetic chemicals called PFAS, which are far from natural.
Fast-forward to present day, however, and pink lemonade is generally made by adding food dye or small amounts of concentrated juice to traditional lemonade. Any color added in the production process typically plays an inactive role in the flavor of this rosy-colored drink.
Then for years I thought it was made by adding pink grapefruit juice to lemonade; it's not. Pink lemonade is a popular cloudy variation of traditional lemonade made with added grape juice or cranberry juice, giving the drink its distinctive pink color.
Pink lemonade is traditionally made by adding raspberries or cranberries to lemonade, although many commercial pink lemonades are just dyed pink with food colouring. Grapefruits have nothing to do with it. Does pink lemonade use different sugar than yellow lemonade? No.
The primary ingredients are the same. The difference is in what is added for the pink color. It can be food coloring, a red or pink fruit juice, or even a red syrup such as grenadine. Food coloring, of course will not change the flavor but adding a fruit juice or syrup will.
