Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3 cups lemonade (store-bought or homemade)

  • Ice cubes

  • Lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

  1. Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until soft peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, as you want it to be creamy, not stiff.

  2. Prepare the lemonade: In a separate pitcher, combine the lemonade, pink lemonade concentrate, and fresh lemon juice (if using). Stir well to combine.

  3. Assemble the drink: Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the prepared lemonade mixture into the glasses, leaving room at the top for the whipped cream layer.

  4. Top with whipped cream: Gently spoon or pipe the whipped cream on top of the lemonade in each glass. You can create a fluffy mound or swirl it for a more decorative look.

  5. Garnish and serve: Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves for a fresh and festive touch.

  6. Enjoy: Stir the whipped cream into the lemonade for a creamy, dreamy drink, or enjoy the layers as they are!
