Wash lemons thoroughly. Use a citrus juicer to extract lemon juice until you have 240 ml. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp.

In a large pitcher, stir together the lemon juice and granulated sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
03 -
Pour cold water into the lemon-sugar mixture and stir to blend. Taste for balance and adjust sweetness or tartness if needed.

Chill the mixing bowl and beaters. Pour heavy whipping cream into the bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2–3 minutes.

Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to whipped cream. Beat on low speed until well combined and thick.

Gradually add pink food coloring to the whipped cream mixture, mixing until an even and preferred pink hue is achieved.

Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the chilled lemonade base using a spatula, preserving the whipped texture.

Cover the pitcher and refrigerate the drink for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to infuse and the beverage to chill thoroughly.

Fill clear glasses with ice cubes. Pour the whipped pink lemonade over ice, filling each glass three-quarters full. Optionally, top with a dollop of leftover whipped cream mixture, and garnish with fresh lemon slices and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.
