Cherry juice, properly. Red Dye #42 most likely.

This site says cranberry juice.

I believe that the traditional ingredient is grape juice.

I haven’t a clue, but just to keep the spirit of the thread alive, I’ll say stawberry. Or watermelon.

I think it originally was the juice from maraschino cherries.

The supposed origin of pink lemonade was when a circus concession stand operator ran out of regular lemonade on a hot day and quickly grabbed a nearby pail of water to make a new batch. He added the lemons and sugar before realizing a performer had been using the pail of water to soak a pair of red tights. The resulting lemonade was pink from the dye. Rather than throw it out, he simply began selling it as “cherry” lemonade. So if anyone offers you a class of “original recipe” pink lemonade, you may want to decline.

I’ve seen it made from grenadine and regular lemonade.

Anyone who says they don’t like children obviously isn’t cooking them properly.

Heard a rumor once that the red dye in Maraschino [sp?] cherries is extracted from some sort of beetle. Anyone have the Straight Dope on that?

I bet this is what you’re referring to:

Is some candy coated with beetle juice?
