Whipped Pink Lemonade is a refreshing and fun twist on the classic pink lemonade drink, featuring a fluffy whipped topping made with pink lemonade mix and heavy whipping cream. This vibrant beverage combines a tart and sweet base with a creamy, airy float for an irresistible summer treat that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Whipped Topping

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup pink lemonade mix (like Country Time or Kool Aid)

Base Drink

  • 2 tablespoons pink lemonade mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold water
  • Ice (as desired)

Optional Garnishes

  • Lemon slice
  • Pink straw
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Whip the Topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup pink lemonade mix. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the mixture for about 2 to 3 minutes until soft, fluffy peaks form, creating a light and airy pink lemonade whipped topping.
  2. Prepare the Base: In a tall glass, dissolve 2 tablespoons of pink lemonade mix into 1 1/2 cups of cold water. Stir well until fully blended to create the pink lemonade base.
  3. Add Ice and Chill: Fill the glass with ice as desired and stir again to chill the base drink thoroughly, ensuring a refreshing cold beverage.
  4. Assemble the Drink: Spoon the whipped pink lemonade topping gently over the chilled pink lemonade base, allowing the layers to remain distinct for a visually appealing presentation.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the layered drink as is, or stir together to create a creamy float effect. For extra flair, garnish with an optional lemon slice, a pink straw, or sprinkles.

Notes

  • Use cold water for the base to ensure the drink remains refreshing and the whipped topping stays stable.
  • To achieve stiffer peaks in the whipped topping, ensure the heavy cream is well-chilled before whipping.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy whipping cream with coconut cream, but whipping results may vary.
  • This drink is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between the fluffy topping and the chilled lemonade.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of pink lemonade mix according to your taste preference.
