Ingredients
  

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

1 cup granulated sugar

4 cups water, divided

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A few drops of red food coloring (adjust for desired pink hue)

Ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Make the Lemonade: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

    In a large mixing bowl, mix the lemon juice with the cooled sugar syrup. Add the remaining 3 cups of water and stir to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Refrigerate until chilled.

      Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and red food coloring using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip. The mixture should be fluffy and light pink.

        Serve the Lemonade: Fill serving glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled pink lemonade over the ice, filling each glass about halfway.

          Add the Whipped Topping: Spoon a generous dollop of the whipped cream mixture on top of each glass of lemonade. You can use a piping bag for a decorative touch.

            Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices for an extra pop of color and flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful Whipped Pink Lemonade!
