Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons pink lemonade powder
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1½ cups cold water
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Optional garnish: lemon wedges, raspberries, mint leaves, or maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Make the Whipped Topping: In a chilled mixing bowl, combine ½ cup heavy whipping cream and 2 tablespoons pink lemonade powder. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the Lemonade Base: In a separate container, mix 1½ cups cold water with additional pink lemonade powder if desired for a stronger flavor. Stir until dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill serving glasses halfway with ice cubes. Pour the prepared cold lemonade over the ice, filling each glass about ¾ full.
- Layer the Whipped Topping: Carefully spoon or pipe the whipped pink lemonade cream over the top of the lemonade.
- Garnish and Serve: Add optional garnishes like a lemon wedge, cherry, mint, or raspberries. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use very cold heavy whipping cream and chill your mixing bowl and beaters for best results.
- Adjust the amount of pink lemonade powder to control sweetness and tartness.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut cream or plant-based whipping cream.
- The whipped topping can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- This recipe is kid-friendly; involve children in whipping the cream and adding garnishes.
