Instructions
Creating Whipped Pink Lemonade is a straightforward process that you can enjoy making. Follow these steps to whip up this delightful drink:
1. Juice the Lemons: Begin by juicing the fresh lemons until you have a cup of lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp if desired.
2. Mix Sugar and Water: In a large pitcher, combine the granulated sugar and cold water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Add Lemon Juice: Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice into the pitcher with the sugar mixture. Stir well to combine.
4. Add Color: If you want that beautiful pink hue, add a few drops of red food coloring and stir until well distributed. Adjust until you reach your desired shade.
5. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
6. Combine and Fold: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemonade mixture. This will give it that airy, whipped texture.
7. Chill (Optional): For a refreshing experience, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
8. Serve Over Ice: Fill glasses with ice and pour the whipped pink lemonade over the top.
9. Garnish: Add a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint to each glass for the perfect finishing touch.
These easy steps will lead you to create a delightful Whipped Pink Lemonade that’s ready to be enjoyed.
