Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Pink lemonade concentrate (frozen)
Cold water
Sweetened condensed milk
Whipped topping or heavy cream (whipped to soft peaks)
Ice
Optional: lemon slices or pink sugar for garnish

Directions

I start by blending the pink lemonade concentrate with cold water and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
I add ice and continue blending until the mixture is frothy and chilled.
I fold in some whipped topping or freshly whipped cream for a light and airy texture.
I pour it into glasses and top each one with a dollop of whipped cream or a swirl, then garnish with a lemon slice or a sprinkle of pink sugar if I want to get fancy.
I serve it immediately while it’s cold and creamy.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 servings and takes less than 10 minutes to prepare from start to finish. It’s best enjoyed immediately after blending.

Variations

Sometimes I add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. If I want a more frozen, slushy texture, I freeze some of the pink lemonade mixture in advance or use more ice. For an adult version, I stir in a little vodka or pink gin. I’ve also made it dairy-free by using coconut cream and dairy-free condensed milk substitutes.

Storage/Reheating

This drink is best served right after preparing, but if I have leftovers, I store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I give it a good stir before serving again. I don’t recommend reheating or freezing, as it can affect the texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I use homemade pink lemonade instead of concentrate?

Yes, I’ve used homemade pink lemonade made with lemon juice and cranberry juice or grenadine. Just make sure it’s well-chilled before blending.

What if I don’t have sweetened condensed milk?

I’ve substituted it with a mix of milk and simple syrup or used sweetened coconut milk for a dairy-free version.

Can I make this drink ahead of time?

It’s best when served fresh, but I sometimes prepare the lemonade base ahead and just blend with whipped topping and ice right before serving.

Is this drink kid-friendly?

Yes, it’s totally kid-friendly and always a hit with little ones thanks to its bright color and creamy sweetness.

Can I make it without a blender?

If I don’t have a blender, I whisk the ingredients by hand or use a hand mixer, though the texture might be slightly less frothy.

Conclusion

Whipped Pink Lemonade is my go-to drink when I want something that tastes like summer in a glass. It’s creamy, refreshing, and so easy to whip up on a hot day. Whether I’m hosting a party or just cooling off in the backyard, this vibrant pink treat always hits the spot.
