How Did Pink Lemonade Originate?
The exact origin of pink lemonade is unclear. One theory states that it was created by a circus vendor in the late 1800s who ran out of water and used the only liquid he had available – a tub of pink-colored water he used to clean his clown costumes. Another theory suggests that it was created by mixing regular lemonade with red fruit juices such as cranberry, raspberry or cherry. Regardless of its origins, pink lemonade has become a popular variation of traditional lemonade enjoyed all over the world.
