This Whipped Pink Lemonade is a refreshing, vibrant drink that blends tart lemonade with sweet raspberries and a cloud of vanilla-scented whipped cream. It’s a delightful treat, perfect for summer parties or a fancy afternoon pick-me-up. The layers of pink lemonade and pillowy whipped topping not only taste amazing but also look stunning served in clear glasses with a garnish of fresh raspberries and lemon slices.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Lemonade Base

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 45 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 the 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 any 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 the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired. Set the lemonade 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. Be 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—the mixture should take on a lovely light pink color.
  6. Assemble the Drinks: Fill glasses with ice cubes, and pour in the lemonade base until each glass is about 3/4 full.
  7. Top and Garnish: Spoon a generous dollop of the whipped pink cream onto each glass. Garnish with a few fresh raspberries and a slice of lemon on the rim for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • Adjust the sugar to match your preferred level of sweetness.
  • If you don’t have fresh raspberries, frozen ones work well—just thaw before blending.
  • Serve the drink immediately after assembling to keep the whipped topping fluffy.
  • For an extra-refreshing touch, chill glasses before serving.
  • A fresh sprig of mint adds color and extra zing!
