To store Pineapple Mango Lemonade, follow these guidelines:
- Refrigeration: Keep it in a tightly sealed container or pitcher in the refrigerator. It can generally be stored for up to 3-4 days.
- Separation: If the lemonade separates after sitting, simply stir or shake it before serving.
- Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the lemonade. Pour it into an ice cube tray or freezer-safe container. Thaw it in the refrigerator before drinking, and be aware that freezing might slightly alter the texture.
Always check for freshness before consuming, especially if stored for more than a couple of days.
