But here's the cool part: the first pink lemonade wasn't actually meant to be pink! A vendor named Peter Conklin was selling lemonade at a circus, and he accidentally dropped some red raspberry mixture into the drink.

These days, most pink lemonade is made with a combination of lemon juice, sugar, and food coloring. But some brands still use real raspberry puree or strawberry syrup to give it that authentic flavor and color. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good berry-based drink on a hot summer day?
