Old-Fashioned Pink Lemonade

I came across this recipe at 2 separate recipe websites... Allrecipes and Recipezazz.  I did modify the recipe to suit my taste.  When making the lemonade, I used a bottled lemon juice, as price-wise, it's cheaper, and it still tastes good.  Also, for this recipe, you could use cranberry juice, but I used raspberry cranberry juice, and I added a bit more than what the recipe called for.  It was a taste preference on my part.  Adding less cranberry juice, will make a light pink lemonade.  I found this lemonade to be quite refreshing!

3.)  Yields: 56 ounces of lemonade

4.) Note: For this recipe, I substituted bottled lemon juice for the fresh lemon juice, plus I added a 3/4 cup of the raspberry-cranberry juice.
