Description

This whipped pink lemonade is a creamy, dreamy summer drink that combines the tang of fresh lemon, the sweetness of strawberry syrup, and a cloud-like whipped texture. It’s quick to make, stunning to serve, and perfect for cooling off on hot days.

Ingredients

Scale

3–4 large fresh lemons, juiced (about 1/2 cup or 120 ml)
1/4 cup (30 g) pink lemonade powder (optional)
2–3 tablespoons (30–45 ml) strawberry syrup
1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar, or to taste
2 cups (480 ml) ice cold water
1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, chilled (or full-fat coconut cream for dairy-free)
2 cups (about 250 g) ice cubes
Optional garnishes: fresh strawberries, lemon slices, whipped cream

Instructions

Roll lemons on the counter, cut in half, and juice until you have about 1/2 cup. Remove seeds.
Add lemon juice, pink lemonade powder (if using), strawberry syrup, and sugar to a blender. Pour in ice cold water.
Add chilled heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free).
Add ice cubes to the blender.
Blend on high for 30-45 seconds, until the mixture is frothy and pale pink with a creamy, milkshake-like texture.
Taste and adjust sweetness, lemon, or syrup as desired. Blend again briefly if you add anything.
Pour immediately into tall glasses or mason jars. Garnish with lemon slices, strawberries, or whipped cream as desired.

Notes

For best results, use chilled ingredients and blend just until creamy. Adjust sugar and syrup to taste. For a vegan version, use coconut cream. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture. If making ahead, re-blend or stir before serving as separation is normal. Add fresh berries for extra flavor and color.
