Ingredients:
1 recipe lemonade base, chilled (see below)
1 can frozen pineapple juice
1 bottle Maraschino cherry syrup (found in the drink mix section of the grocery store)
Water 
Maraschino cherries
Pineapple slices (for garnish)

Directions:
In a very large pitcher, mix together the lemonade base and thawed pineapple juice.  Add water to the pitcher to taste, leaving the lemonade a little bit on the strong side because it will be poured over ice.

To assemble: Pour 1-2 Tbsp. of cherry syrup in the bottom of a glass.  Fill the glass with ice.  Pour the pineapple lemonade slowly over ice until the glass is full.  Garnish with a maraschino cherry and a slice of pineapple.

Lemonade base:
2 c. fresh lemon juice (from about 10-12 lemons)
2 c. sugar
2 c. water

Directions:
Place the lemon juice, sugar and water in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil, stirring the sugar until it is completely dissolved.  Remove from the heat and place in a large pitcher.  Refrigerate until cold.
