Whipped Pink Lemonade (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
02 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
03 -
Lemon slices
04 -
1 cup heavy cream
05 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 -
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
07 -
Mint leaves
08 -
4 cups cold water
09 -
Ice cubes
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss the raspberries along with 1/2 cup of cold water into a blender. Blend them until they’re smooth, then use a fine sieve to strain out the seeds. Keep the puree handy.
02 -
In a big pitcher, stir together the lemon juice and sugar. Keep stirring until the sugar completely mixes in.
03 -
Pour the rest of the cold water (about 3.5 cups) into the pitcher. Add the raspberry puree next and stir everything well. Taste it and sweeten a bit more if you'd like.
04 -
Grab a mixing bowl and pour in the heavy cream with the vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to whip it up at medium-high speed until soft peaks form, which takes around 3-5 minutes.
05 -
Take some glasses and fill them with ice. Carefully pour the pink lemonade into the glasses, leaving some space at the top.
06 -
Scoop some of that whipped cream and spoon it onto the top of the lemonade in each glass for a light, airy topping.
07 -
Top each drink with a couple of lemon slices and a few mint leaves for a fresh touch.

To show off the pink color and creamy topping, serve this drink in clear glasses. You can drizzle a little extra raspberry puree on top for a fancy look.
