Whipped Lemonade Base
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar or 2 tbsp powdered sugar for smoother texture
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pink lemonade concentrate
- 2 drops red food coloring optional, for more vibrant color
Lemonade & Garnish
- 2 cups cold water or sparkling water
- ice cubes for serving
- fresh strawberries or lemon slices for garnish
Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes before starting. Cold equipment helps achieve the perfect whipped texture in half the time.
In a pitcher, combine the pink lemonade concentrate with cold water (or sparkling water). Stir well and set aside in the refrigerator.
Remove your chilled bowl from the freezer. Add heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
Gently fold in 2-3 tablespoons of your prepared pink lemonade and food coloring (if using). Use a spatula and maintain a light touch – no more than 10 folds to preserve the airy texture.
Fill glasses halfway with your prepared lemonade. Carefully spoon the whipped pink cream on top, creating a cloud-like layer.
Add a fresh strawberry slice, lemon wheel, or mint sprig. Serve immediately with a straw and spoon.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream.
The whipped topping is best prepared within 30 minutes of serving for optimal texture.
Create an adult version by adding a splash of rosé or vodka.
For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt whipped with a small amount of heavy cream.
