Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cream Topping
- 1/4 cup pink lemonade mix (such as Country Time)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Lemonade Base
- 2 tablespoons pink lemonade mix (for serving)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- Ice, as needed
Instructions
- Make the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup pink lemonade mix with 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer on high speed, whip the mixture until it thickens and forms stiff peaks. This creates a tangy, fluffy topping that will sit beautifully on the lemonade.
- Prepare the Lemonade: Set out two glasses. Add 1 tablespoon of pink lemonade mix to each glass, then pour in 3/4 cup water per glass. Stir thoroughly to dissolve the mix, then fill each glass about two-thirds full with ice to chill the drink perfectly.
- Assemble the Drinks: Spoon the pink lemonade whipped cream generously on top of each glass. Before sipping, stir the whipped cream into the lemonade for a creamy, pink-hued drink that blends tartness and smooth texture in every sip.
Notes
- Use cold heavy whipping cream for better whipping results.
- Adjust the amount of pink lemonade mix to your preferred sweetness and tartness.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the whipped topping at its fluffiest.
- For a fun presentation, garnish with a lemon slice or a sprig of mint.
- This recipe can easily be doubled for larger groups.
