There is a fruit known as the variegated lemon that has green-yellow striped skin with pink flesh and can be used to make "naturally" pink lemonade (i.e. without the little bit of cranberry juice or strawberry juice or yuck! dye). But the existence of pink lemonade actually has an interesting back story. All fruits, like flowers, actually have a gender associated with them and while some can switch from male to female and back again at certain points in their lives, they are always one or the other, never both at the same time. It was found after some trial studies in 1939 that pink lemonade is made from gay lemons. That is why there was no lemonade in Germany in WWII. Because Hitler just couldn't be sure. Strange but true. Known fact. Check Wikipedia if you don't believe me. In about 20 minutes.

yes there is a such thing as a pink lemon (called variegated pink-fleshed Eureka lemons) but they usually don't make pink lemonade from it they usually add the color

Food coloring and artificial flavoring make it look and taste pink.

It was made when "Wacky" was "Radical"
And pink lemonade is wacky as hell.
Thats my best guess.

The pink lemonade you buy in a bottle (all manufactured and crap) has food coloring in it.

BUT! If you want to know or are wondering about homemade pink lemonade, it is either a bit of grenadine or raspberry juice (usually it's grenadine).

Pink lemonade can be achived by adding colors, such as blue, yellow, red, etc. Preservatives are another way colors are altered, but there are no pink lemons. The lemonade is just chemically altered. Hope that helps.

I work for the United States Department of Agriculture and I can honestly say that I have never come across a pink lemon. However, I have seen orange lemons (an orange/lemon hybrid). If it were possible, the only way would to get a hybrid variation of something like a (lemon/grapefruit). Otherwise, I'd say no.
