Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 2 cups cold water
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Ice cubes (optional, but highly recommended for that extra chill)
- Fresh lemon slices, for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Feel free to substitute the sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup if you prefer. And if you’re feeling adventurous, a splash of sparkling water can add a delightful fizz!
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the pink lemonade concentrate with the cold water. Stir until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream and sugar together until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes. I like to use an electric mixer for ease, but a hand whisk works too if you’re in the mood for a little arm workout!
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemonade mixture. The goal is to achieve a marbled effect where the cream and lemonade are swirled together but not fully combined.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes if using, then pour the whipped pink lemonade over the top.
- Garnish with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves for a pop of color and an extra touch of freshness.
This recipe is reminiscent of my childhood days, standing on that wobbly chair beside my dad. It’s about embracing the imperfections—those little dollops of cream that don’t quite mix in—and savoring the joy they bring.
