Whipped Pink Lemonade Drink (Print-Friendly Format)

Sweet, creamy pink lemonade chilled and topped with whipped cream, bright lemon, and mint for refreshment.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Lemonade Base

01 - 240 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 4–6 lemons)
02 - 200 g granulated sugar
03 - 950 ml cold water

→ Whipped Cream Mixture

04 - 240 ml heavy whipping cream
05 - 120 ml sweetened condensed milk
06 - 2.5 ml vanilla extract
07 - 60 ml pink food coloring (adjust to desired shade)

→ To Serve (Optional)

08 - Ice cubes
09 - Fresh lemon slices
10 - Mint leaves

# How to Make It:

01 - 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.
02 - 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.
04 - 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.
05 - Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to whipped cream. Beat on low speed until well combined and thick.
06 - Gradually add pink food coloring to the whipped cream mixture, mixing until an even and preferred pink hue is achieved.
07 - Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the chilled lemonade base using a spatula, preserving the whipped texture.
08 - Cover the pitcher and refrigerate the drink for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to infuse and the beverage to chill thoroughly.
09 - 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.

# Additional Information:

01 - Adjust sweetness by incrementally adding more sugar or condensed milk if a sweeter flavor is preferred, or add extra lemon juice for increased tartness.
02 - For a more intense or subtle color, increase or reduce the amount of pink food coloring.
03 - Chill all ingredients, especially the cream and mixing bowl, to ensure an airy whipped topping.
04 - Serve the beverage promptly after preparation for the freshest texture and presentation.
