Your standard pink lemonade is made with a mix of cherry juice. HOWEVER! There are actually pink lemons, but I'm not sure that's what your standard pink lemonade is made from.
Here's a pink lemon tree: http://www.homedepot.com/prel80/HDUS/EN_US/diy_main/pg_diy.jsp?prod_id=100494485&cm_mmc=YahooPI-_-YPI-_-Product-_-100494485

Often, it's a dash of purple grape juice. Sometimes people add grenadine.
