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!

Pro Tips

  • Use chilled tools and ingredients for faster whipping.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract for a creamy twist.
  • Want extra flair? Garnish with edible glitter or freeze-dried raspberries.

Flavor Variations

  • Strawberry Lemonade Whip: Blend in a few strawberries with the lemonade base.
  • Tropical Pink: Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for island vibes.
  • Minty Pink Lemonade: Muddle fresh mint into the lemonade for a cooling hit.
  • Try other Mocktails Idea twists using herbs, flavored syrups, or fruit purees.

Serving Suggestions

  • Perfect for dessert tables at brunch or tea parties.
  • Serve in mason jars with floral straws for a rustic look.
  • Make a big batch in a punch bowl for baby showers or birthdays.
  • Great addition to your Specialty Drinks Nonalcoholic lineup.
  • Ideal Diy Drinks For Kids at parties or family nights.

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.
