Make this creamy, frothy Whipped Pink Lemonade for a sweet and tangy summer treat. This easy recipe delivers a refreshing, dessert-like drink perfect for parties or hot afternoons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 cups cold water
  • 1/2 cup strawberry puree or cranberry juice for natural pink color
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for the whipped topping)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Make the lemonade base: In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cold water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Add the pink color: Stir in the strawberry puree or cranberry juice until you achieve a vibrant pink hue. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness if needed.
  3. Chill the base: Refrigerate the pink lemonade base for at least 30 minutes to ensure it is very cold.
  4. Prepare the whipped topping: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the chilled heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. This creates your creamy topping.
  5. Assemble the drink: Fill tall glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled pink lemonade base into the glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Top and serve: Spoon a generous amount of the whipped topping over the lemonade in each glass. Garnish with a lemon slice or a fresh berry. Serve immediately for the best frothy texture.

Notes

  • For a classic, non-whipped version, skip the heavy cream and simply serve the chilled lemonade base over ice.
  • To make this an Old Fashioned Pink Lemonade, use fresh raspberries muddled into the lemon juice before adding water and sugar.
  • If you prefer a lighter topping, substitute the heavy cream with chilled vanilla ice cream blended directly into the lemonade base for a frothy texture.
