Description

This Whipped Pink Lemonade recipe is a refreshing and visually stunning twist on classic lemonade. Combining fresh lemon juice, raspberries, and a creamy whipped topping, it offers a delightful balance of tart, sweet, and creamy flavors perfect for warm days or special gatherings.


Ingredients

Lemonade Base

  • 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)

Whipped Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Serving

  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh raspberries (for garnish)
  • Lemon slices (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Make the Pink Lemon Base: In a blender, combine fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, raspberries, and 1 cup of cold water. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  2. Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended lemonade through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove seeds and pulp. Press with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
  3. Add Remaining Water: Stir in the remaining 3 cups of cold water into the pitcher. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired. Set aside for assembling.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream and add the vanilla extract. Whip with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.
  5. Prepare the Whipped Pink Layer: Gently fold about 1 cup of the prepared pink lemonade into the whipped cream. Mix until just combined, turning the mixture a lovely light pink color.
  6. Assemble the Drinks: Fill glasses with ice cubes, and pour in the lemonade base until glasses are about 3/4 full.
  7. Top and Garnish: Spoon a generous dollop of the whipped pink cream onto each glass. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a lemon slice on the rim for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more sugar if needed after diluting with water.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and whip similarly.
  • Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the whipped topping at its best.
  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor and color.
  • Chill all ingredients beforehand for a colder, more refreshing lemonade.
