Whipped Pink Lemonade is a refreshing twist on classic lemonade, combining tart lemon juice and sweet raspberries with a luxuriously creamy whipped topping. This dreamy pink summertime drink is perfect for parties, brunches, or whenever you need a cool, vibrant treat. The whipped cream not only adds a gorgeous pink hue but also a rich, velvety texture that floats atop every glass. Lightly garnished with fresh raspberries and a lemon slice, this beverage delivers both visual and flavorful delight in every sip.

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

Ingredients

For the Pink 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)

For the Whipped Cream Topping

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

For Serving

  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh raspberries and lemon slices (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Blend the Lemonade Base: In a blender, combine the fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, raspberries, and 1 cup of cold water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and the sugar dissolves.
  2. Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove the raspberry seeds and pulp. Use the back of a spoon to press the liquid through the sieve for maximum flavor extraction.
  3. Add Water and Adjust Sweetness: Stir in the remaining 3 cups of cold water into the pitcher. Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness by mixing in more sugar if needed. Stir well and set aside.
  4. Make the Whipped Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, whip the cream until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy texture.
  5. Color the Cream: Gently fold about 1 cup of the lemonade mixture into the whipped cream. This will infuse the cream with a delicate pink color and lightly tangy flavor.
  6. Assemble the Lemonade: Fill serving glasses with ice cubes. Pour the prepared lemonade into each glass, filling about three-quarters of the way up.
  7. Add Whipped Topping: Top each glass with a generous dollop of the pink whipped cream mixture for a whimsical, creamy finish.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with fresh raspberries and a slice of lemon on the rim. Optionally, add a sprig of mint for extra freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a smoother drink, make sure to strain the raspberry-lemon mixture thoroughly.
  • Fresh raspberries give the brightest flavor and color, but you can substitute with thawed frozen raspberries if fresh are unavailable.
  • The whipped cream topping can be made in advance and kept chilled until serving.
  • To make it dairy-free, swap the whipped cream for a plant-based alternative.
  • Presentation counts: serve in clear glasses to highlight the signature pink and white layers!
