Make this fluffy, creamy Whipped Pink Lemonade. It is a refreshing twist on classic lemonade, perfect for summer parties or a cool afternoon treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold water (for simple syrup)
  • 1/4 cup cranberry juice or grenadine (for color)
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the simple syrup: Combine 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup cold water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  2. Combine the base: In a large pitcher, mix the cooled simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, cranberry juice or grenadine, and 1 cup of cold water. Stir well to combine. Chill this mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Whip the cream: Pour the heavy whipping cream into a large bowl. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the cream until stiff peaks form. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Assemble the drink: Fill serving glasses with ice. Pour the chilled pink lemonade base into the glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Top with whipped cream: Gently spoon or pipe a generous dollop of the whipped cream mixture over the top of the lemonade in each glass.
  6. Garnish and serve immediately with a lemon slice.

Notes

  • For a tangier sweet lemonade flavor, reduce the sugar in the simple syrup to 3/4 cup.
  • If you need a quick color boost for your homemade pink lemonade, use a few drops of red food coloring instead of cranberry juice.
  • This recipe makes a great kid friendly drink when served without any additions.
