How to Make Whipped Pink Lemonade
Creating this delightful drink is a straightforward process. You’ll whip up the heavy cream and mix in a pink lemonade powder to create a fluffy topping, then combine it with refreshing lemonade for the ultimate refresher.
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup pink lemonade mix (I used Country Time)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons pink lemonade mix
- 1 ½ cups water
- Ice
Directions:
-
Step 1: Whipping the Cream
Whip together ¼ cup pink lemonade mix and heavy whipping cream on high until the cream has thickened and stiff peaks begin to form.
-
Step 2: Mixing Lemonade
Set out two glasses. Add one tablespoon of pink lemonade mix to each glass and add ¾ cup water to each glass. Stir to mix until fully dissolved.
-
Step 3: Adding Ice
Add ice to each glass until they are around 2/3 of the way full, creating a lovely chilled base for your drink.
-
Step 4: Topping and Serving
Top each glass with the pink lemonade whipped cream. Stir the cream into the lemonade before drinking for a delightful combination of flavors.
How to Serve Whipped Pink Lemonade
Whipped Pink Lemonade is best served cold. Serve it in clear glasses to showcase its beautiful pink color and fluffy whipped topping. It pairs wonderfully with summer barbecues, birthday parties, or as a refreshing afternoon treat. You can garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for added flair.
How to Store Whipped Pink Lemonade
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, as the whipped cream may lose its structure over time. However, if you need to store leftovers, keep the lemonade and whipped cream separate in the refrigerator. The lemonade can last up to 3 days, while the whipped cream should be consumed within 1-2 days for the best taste and texture.
Expert Tips for Perfect Whipped Pink Lemonade
- Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping to achieve better peaks.
- Use a high-quality pink lemonade mix for the best flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of lemonade mix according to your taste.
- You can easily double the recipe if you’re hosting a larger gathering.
Delicious Variations
- Berry Bliss Pink Lemonade: Add a handful of blended strawberries or raspberries to the lemonade mix before serving for a fruity version.
- Sparkling Pink Lemonade: Replace regular water with sparkling water for a fizzy touch.
- Alcoholic Version: Add a splash of vodka or rum for a refreshing cocktail twist, perfect for adult gatherings.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I use homemade lemonade instead of a mix?
Yes! Homemade lemonade works beautifully. Just adjust the sweetness accordingly. -
How can I make this dairy-free?
Substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or a dairy-free whipped topping. -
Is it possible to make it ahead of time?
While the lemonade can be made in advance, it’s best to whip the cream just before serving to maintain its texture. -
What if I want it less sweet?
Reduce the amount of pink lemonade mix or opt for a sugar-free alternative. -

Freezing is not recommended as the texture changes once thawed. It’s best enjoyed fresh.
