Scale
Lemonade Base
- 2 tablespoons pink lemonade mix
- 1½ cups cold water
- Ice, as needed
Whipped Topping
- ¼ cup pink lemonade mix
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Whip the Topping: In a medium bowl, whip together ½ cup heavy whipping cream and ¼ cup pink lemonade mix using a mixer until soft peaks form, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes. The whipped cream should be light and fluffy, holding gentle peaks when the beaters are lifted.
- Prepare Lemonade Base: In a tall glass, stir together 2 tablespoons of pink lemonade mix with 1½ cups of cold water until the lemonade mix is completely dissolved, creating a smooth and vibrant pink lemonade base.
- Add Ice: Add ice cubes to the lemonade mixture to chill it thoroughly, stirring well to mix the coldness evenly throughout the drink.
- Assemble the Drink: Spoon the whipped pink lemonade topping gently over the chilled lemonade base, covering the surface with a generous layer of fluffy cream.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the whipped pink lemonade right away for the best texture and freshness. Optionally, garnish with lemon slices or colorful sprinkles to add an extra decorative touch and brightness to the presentation.
Notes
- Use cold heavy whipping cream for better whipping results.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of pink lemonade mix to your taste.
- For a fun variation, add a splash of sparkling water to the lemonade base for some fizz.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the whipped topping at its fluffiest.
- Garnishing with lemon slices or sprinkles enhances both taste and appearance.
