How to Make Whipped Pink Lemonade

Step 1: Whip the Cream

In a medium bowl, combine ¼ cup of the pink lemonade mix with the heavy whipping cream. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to whip the mixture on high speed until it thickens and stiff peaks begin to form. This will create a fluffy and flavorful whipped cream topping.

Step 2: Prepare the Lemonade

Set out two glasses. Add 1 tablespoon of pink lemonade mix to each glass, followed by ¾ cup of water. Stir until the mix is dissolved. Fill the glasses about ⅔ full with ice.

Step 3: Assemble and Serve

Top each glass of lemonade with a generous amount of the pink lemonade whipped cream. You can enjoy the drink as is, with the distinct layers of lemonade and whipped cream, or stir the whipped cream into the lemonade for a creamy and frothy texture.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more pink lemonade mix to the whipped cream or the lemonade base.
Garnish with flair: Add a fun and festive touch by garnishing the drinks with fresh berries, a lemon wedge, or a sprinkle of pink sanding sugar.
