For a smoother lemonade, consider making a simple syrup by heating the water and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves completely. Let the syrup cool before adding it to the lemon and cranberry juices. Adjust the amount of cranberry juice to control the pink hue and tartness. More cranberry juice will result in a deeper color and slightly more tart flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be noticeably different. Freshly squeezed is highly recommended. For a festive touch, consider freezing some of the lemonade into ice cubes to prevent dilution as they melt. Make sure your cranberry juice is unsweetened, otherwise your lemonade may be too sweet.
