Why You’ll Love This Whipped Pink Lemonade
It’s a New Take on Homemade Pink Lemonade
We all love homemade pink lemonade, but let’s be honest—sometimes you want zero effort. This is that, but with style.
Sweet, Tangy, and Luxuriously Creamy
- The whip adds richness.
- The lemonade mix keeps it zippy.
- Every sip is creamy and cold—peak refreshing summer drink status.
Everyone Can Enjoy It
No booze. No caffeine. This is one of those rare non-alcoholic summer beverages that tastes indulgent but works for all ages.
Ingredients Overview: What You’ll Need
This is a short grocery list, my friend.
- Pink lemonade mix (powdered stuff—like the kind from a tub)
- Heavy whipping cream
- Water
- Ice
No lemons to squeeze. No fancy bar tools. Just some whisking and pouring.
Step-by-Step Instructions: Let’s Whip This Drink Into Shape
1. Whip It Good
This is where the magic happens.
Grab a mixing bowl. Add:
- ¼ cup pink lemonade mix
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Now beat it like you mean it. Use a hand mixer if you have one. Whisk if you don’t (your forearms will thank you later). You’re looking for stiff peaks—like whipped cream, but pink and a little tart.
Pro tip: Don’t over-whip or it’ll get grainy. Soft and fluffy is the goal here.
2. Prepare the Glasses
Now let’s get those drinks built.
In each glass:
- Add 1 tbsp pink lemonade mix
- Pour in ¾ cup cold water
- Stir it up until the powder dissolves
- Fill the glass about ⅔ with ice (crushed ice? Even better)
You’re building the base for that creamy topping to float on.
3. Top It Off & Serve
Spoon your fluffy pink whip right over the top of each glass.
It’ll sit pretty on top—like a lemonade cloud.
Want to stir it in? Go for it. That’ll turn it into a full-on creamy lemonade drink, almost like a shake. Otherwise, sip it layered.
Either way, it’s cold, it’s tangy, it’s sweet, and it’s got texture.
