Description
A refreshing and creamy twist on classic lemonade, this Whipped Pink Lemonade combines fresh citrus, juicy raspberries, and a fluffy whipped topping for a visually stunning summer drink.
Ingredients
1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
1 cup granulated sugar
4 cups cold water
1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ tsp vanilla extract
Ice cubes
Instructions
- Blend base: In a blender, combine lemon juice, sugar, raspberries, and 1 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth.
- Strain: Pour through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove seeds and pulp, pressing with a spoon to extract all liquid.
- Finish lemonade: Stir in the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Set aside.
- Make whipped topping: In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Color the cream: Fold in about 1 cup of the lemonade into the whipped cream to give it a pink hue.
- Serve: Fill clear glasses with ice, pour in lemonade to ¾ full, and top with a spoonful of the whipped pink cream.
- Garnish: Add a few raspberries and a lemon slice. Optionally, top with mint for a fresh finish.
Notes
- Try using strawberries or blackberries instead of raspberries for a different flavor.
- For a fizzy version, replace part of the water with sparkling water.
- Use coconut cream for a dairy-free whipped topping option.
- For a slushy drink, blend the lemonade base with ice.
