Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup pink lemonade mix (such as Country Time)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons pink lemonade mix
- 1 ½ cups water
- Ice
Instructions
- Whip the cream: In a medium bowl, combine ¼ cup pink lemonade mix with ½ cup of heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip on high speed until the mixture thickens and forms soft peaks. The consistency should be light and airy, similar to whipped cream.
- Mix the lemonade base: In two separate glasses, add 1 tablespoon of pink lemonade mix to each. Pour ¾ cup of water into each glass and stir well until the powder fully dissolves, creating a smooth, slightly tangy pink lemonade.
- Add ice: Fill each glass with ice until they are about two-thirds full. This helps keep the drink chilled and dilutes the lemonade to a balanced flavor.
- Top with whipped lemonade: Spoon the whipped pink lemonade mixture onto the top of each glass, creating a beautiful layered effect. Let it sit for a few seconds to maintain the contrast between the whipped topping and lemonade base.
- Serve and enjoy: Stir the whipped topping into the lemonade just before drinking to blend the creamy texture with the tart lemonade flavor. Optionally, garnish with a lemon slice or fresh berries for an extra pop of color.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness: If the drink is too sweet, add extra water or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- Dairy-free option: Swap the heavy whipping cream for coconut cream for a plant-based alternative.
- Garnish ideas: A sprig of mint, a lemon slice, or even a few raspberries can enhance the presentation.
- Make it a frozen treat: Blend the lemonade base with ice for a slushy-style drink.
