Pink Lemonade Whipped Cream
- 2 tablespoons pink lemonade mix
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Drink
- 1 1/2 cups water, divided
- Ice, to taste
- Lemon wedges, optional, to taste, for garnish
- Maraschino cherries, optional, to taste, for garnish
- Whip the cream and lemonade mix: Using an electric mixer on high speed, whip together the pink lemonade mix and heavy whipping cream until the cream thickens and stiff peaks start to form. This creates a light, fluffy lemonade-flavored whipped cream.
- Prepare the glasses: Divide the whipped cream mixture by adding about 1 tablespoon of it into two separate glasses.
- Add water and mix: Pour 3/4 cup of water into each glass and stir well to blend the whipped cream with the water, creating a smooth lemonade base.
- Add ice: Fill each glass with ice until it is approximately two-thirds full to chill the drink.
- Top with whipped cream: Spoon the remaining whipped lemonade cream mixture on top of each glass to add a creamy layer.
- Mix slightly: Gently stir the whipped cream into the lemonade just a bit to combine flavors without losing the airy texture on top.
- Garnish and serve: Add lemon wedges and maraschino cherries as garnish, if desired, and serve immediately for a visually appealing and refreshing treat.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon wedges and chilled water for the best flavor and serving temperature.
- Adjust the amount of pink lemonade mix to taste if you prefer it sweeter or more tart.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy whipping cream with half-and-half or a dairy alternative, but the texture will be less thick.
- This drink is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between the whipped cream and the cold lemonade.
- Adding a splash of soda water can create a fizzy version of this drink.
