Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup pink lemonade mix such as Country Time
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons pink lemonade mix
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • Ice

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup of pink lemonade mix and the ½ cup of heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer (either a stand mixer or a handheld mixer), whip the mixture on high speed. Continue whipping until the cream has thickened and stiff peaks begin to form. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes, depending on the strength of your mixer. Be careful not to overwhip the cream, as it can turn into butter. You’re looking for a texture that is firm enough to hold its shape but still light and airy.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Lemonade Base: Take two glasses and add one tablespoon of pink lemonade mix to each glass. This will provide the concentrated flavor base for each serving of lemonade.
  3. Step 3: Add Water: Pour ¾ cup of water into each glass, over the pink lemonade mix. Stir well until the mix is completely dissolved and the water is evenly tinted with the pink lemonade color. Make sure there are no clumps of undissolved powder at the bottom of the glass.
  4. Step 4: Add Ice: Fill each glass with ice until they are approximately 2/3 of the way full. The amount of ice you use will depend on your preference, but this amount usually provides the perfect level of chill without diluting the flavor too much.
  5. Step 5: Top with Whipped Cream: Gently spoon the pink lemonade whipped cream on top of the ice in each glass. You can create a generous mound of whipped cream for a truly decadent presentation. The whipped cream will slowly melt into the lemonade, creating a beautiful swirl of pink and white.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and encourage your guests to stir the whipped cream into the lemonade before drinking. This will blend the creamy texture with the tart lemonade, creating a harmonious and refreshing beverage.
