Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pink Lemonade
- 1 cup pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 2 cups cold sparkling water
For Serving
- Fresh lemon slices for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture until stiff peaks form, usually 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
- Mix the lemonade base: Pour the thawed pink lemonade concentrate into a large pitcher. Add the cold sparkling water and stir gently until well combined.
- Prepare the glasses: Fill each serving glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes.
- Assemble the drink: Pour the pink lemonade mixture over the ice in each glass.
- Top with whipped cream: Add a generous dollop of the prepared whipped cream onto each glass of lemonade.
- Garnish and serve: Place fresh lemon slices on the rim of each glass for an attractive presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy and fizzy flavors.
Notes
- Ensure the pink lemonade concentrate is fully thawed before mixing for best flavor.
- The whipped cream should be beaten to stiff peaks for a stable and fluffy topping.
- Use cold sparkling water to keep the drink refreshing and bubbly.
- For a less sweet version, adjust the powdered sugar to taste.
- Best served immediately to maintain the carbonation and whipped cream texture.
