How to Make Whipped Pink Lemonade
Step 1: Whip the Cream
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. It should be smooth, fluffy, and just firm enough to hold shape.
Step 2: Mix the Lemonade Base
In a pitcher, combine the pink lemonade concentrate with cold water and a bit of lemon zest. Stir until completely dissolved. Add a few drops of pink food coloring if you’re going for that ultra-pink look.
Step 3: Assemble the Drink
Fill glasses with ice, pour in the pink lemonade, and top generously with the whipped cream. Use a spoon to swirl it in or let it float like a dreamy cloud.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Let the glasses sit for about 10 minutes if you like a frothier, slushier texture. Serve with cute straws or a lemon slice on the rim. Sip and swoon!

Make-Ahead & Storage
You can whip the cream a few hours in advance and store it in the fridge. Just give it a quick whisk before using. The lemonade base can also be prepped and chilled ahead of time.
Leftovers
Leftover whipped pink lemonade can be stored in the fridge for a day. The cream may settle a bit, so give it a gentle stir or re-whip.
Freezing
Not ideal for freezing—the texture changes once thawed. Enjoy this one fresh!
Reheating
No reheating needed (or wanted!)—this drink is best served icy cold.
FAQs
Can I use store-bought whipped topping?
Yes, but homemade whipped cream tastes way better and gives a fluffier finish.
Is it okay to use regular lemonade instead of pink?
Sure, but you’ll miss out on that pretty pink color and the slightly different flavor profile.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Absolutely! Use coconut cream or a dairy-free whipping alternative.
How do I make it less sweet?
Use less powdered sugar in the cream or dilute the lemonade more.
