Liquid Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- 4 cups cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Ice cubes (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Lemon Juice: Squeeze fresh lemons until you have 1 cup of lemon juice. Make sure to strain out any seeds or pulp for a smooth lemonade base.
- Mix Lemonade Base: In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cold water. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy texture that will add creaminess to the lemonade.
- Combine and Chill: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemonade mixture, combining thoroughly but carefully to maintain the whipped texture.
- Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the whipped pink lemonade over the ice. Stir gently before serving to enjoy the creamy, tangy, and sweet flavors together.
Notes
- For a pink hue, add a splash of cranberry juice or crushed raspberries while mixing.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on your taste preference.
- Chill the lemonade base before folding in the whipped cream for best results.
- You can substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free variation.
- Serve immediately after mixing to enjoy the whipped texture.
