Let’s Get Cooking!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Whip the Cream : In a medium bowl, whip together ½ cup heavy whipping cream and ¼ cup pink lemonade mix until soft, fluffy peaks form, this should take about 2–3 minutes. It should look creamy and delicious! Turn on that mixer, and enjoy the light, airy texture as it forms. Trust me, this part is a total show-stopper!
Mix the Base : In a tall glass (you’ll want something adorable for the presentation), stir 2 tablespoons pink lemonade mix with 1½ cups cold water. This is where the magic begins. You’ll want to give it a good mix until everything looks nice and combined, don’t skip this, trust me.
Add the Ice : Now, throw in some ice to cool everything down. No one wants a room-temperature lemonade, right? Stir everything well until it’s nice and chilled.
Top It Off : Spoon that whipped pink lemonade topping over your base drink. This is where it gets fancy! You can either serve it as a layered drink, with the pretty pink whipped topping sitting atop the tangy lemonade underneath, or just mix it all together for a creamy float effect.
Garnish (Optional) For a touch of flair, you can add a lemon slice on the rim, pop in a cute pink straw, or sprinkle some edible glitter if you’re feeling extra festive!
Serve and Enjoy! Dive right in! This is perfect for sipping on a sunny afternoon or serving at parties. Get ready for compliments!

Serving & Storage Tips
How to Serve This Drink
This Whipped Pink Lemonade is perfect for barbecues, birthday parties, or even just a cozy family lunch! Serve it chilled with some fresh fruit on the side, think mixed berries or lemon slices. It’s extra cute, and the fruit adds another layer of flavor!
Storage
If you have any leftovers (not likely, but just in case), store the drink base in the fridge for up to 2 days. The whipped topping, however, is best enjoyed fresh. It tends to deflate after a while, so I recommend making it right before you serve.
Freezer Friendly?
You can definitely freeze the lemonade part! Just pour it into an ice cube tray or a freezer-safe container. It’ll be perfect to pop into drinks later on. As for the whipped topping, I recommend making it fresh each time for the best texture.
So there you have it! I hope this inspires you to create your own delicious Whipped Pink Lemonade. Don’t forget to make it your own, get creative with fruit, colors, and flavors.
