- 1 cup of lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of powdered sugar (plus 1/4 cup for whipping)
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- a few drops of pink food coloring (optional)
- crushed ice
- fresh lemon slices (for garnish)
- mint leaves (optional)
- Prepare the Lemonade: If you're making homemade lemonade, start by squeezing fresh lemons until you have about 1 cup of lemon juice. Mix it with 1 cup of water and 1 cup of powdered sugar, stirring until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to your liking.
- Chill the Lemonade: Place the prepared lemonade in the fridge to chill while you whip the cream.
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream. Add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and a few drops of pink food coloring if desired. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form—this should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large pitcher, pour in the chilled lemonade. Carefully spoon the whipped cream over the lemonade and gently fold it in. This will create a beautiful marbled effect.
- Serve: Fill glasses with crushed ice and pour the whipped pink lemonade over it. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves for an extra pop of color and flavor.
