We’ve got TikTok to thank for all sorts of trends.
The video sharing social media platform has been credited with all sorts, from kick-starting the careers of budding musicians, to having an impact on the latest fashion and food fads.
One of the latest trends to be taking TikTok by storm is a refreshing ‘whipped lemonade’ recipe that looks perfect for the summer.
Similar to the famous coffee recipe that was created in kitchens all across the globe during the first lockdown back in mid-2020, step-by-step videos demonstrating how to make the new lemonade drink are racking up millions of views online.
It’s largely because this simple drink doesn’t take a lot of ingredients, and is really easy to put together in no time at all.

There’s a bunch of variations on the recipe floating around on TikTok, with some people using ingredients such as condensed milk, coconut milk, or whipping cream to ensure the drink is as frothy as possible, as well as fizzy lemonade, lemon juice, Kool-Aid, and/or powdered lemonade mixtures to get that all-important tangy kick.
One popular video by TikTok user @mtlajeunesse showcases the simple recipe.
In the short video demonstrating the super-simple recipe, they put three cups of ice, two cups of whipped cream, a half cup of the sweetened condensed milk, and a half cup of lemon juice in the blender.

They blend until the mixture is creamy with a few chunks of ice left, and pour it into a glass, before topping off with more whipped cream and a slice of lemon to garnish.
Another recipe proving popular on the other side of the pond requires the retro US powdered drink Kool-Aid – which you can actually grab online in the UK – to give your whipped lemonade a twist, although any brand of powdered drink mix should do the trick.
In TikTok user @goldenxclouds‘s recipe, they sprinkle Kool-Aid on top of whipping cream and use a handheld milk frother to mix it together until the mixture forms soft peaks, before pouring a bottle of lemonade into a glass and topping it off with the whipped mixture and a strawberry garnish.

Jack Grealish dedicates first league goal in 16 months to late brother on anniversary of his death
Danny Jones
Manchester City star Jack Grealish held back the tears following his first Premier League goal in more than 16 months, but not in relief after breaking the duck, because it came on a very emotional day for him and his family.
The Man City and England midfielder opened the scoring in the Blues’ 2-0 win against Leicester City on Wednesday night, bringing an end to his goal drought after a total of 473 days.
But what made it even more special is that the game happened to coincide with the anniversary of his late brother Keelan’s death.
Speaking in his post-match interview after picking up the man of the match award, Grealish was in a noticeably quieter mood than his usual charismatic self before revealing that the day marked the 25th anniversary of his younger sibling’s death.

The 29-year-old went on to reveal that the date coincided with Keelan’s passing and acknowledged that it’s “hard on the family but [I’m] happy to score”.
His mum and dad, Karen and Kevin, were up in the stands; it doesn’t need explaining why scoring in that particular moment was so special for all of them.
Clearly stirred by addressing what was a bittersweet occasion, he signed off by adding, “To score and to win was brilliant.”
Keelan Daniel Grealish was just nine months old when he tragically passed away from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) back in 2000 – ‘Super Jack’ was just four at the time.
Paying tribute on social media after the game, the comments below his post were filled with love and support.
Besides the goal itself, the former Aston Villa star was keen to reiterate that he was never brought to the club to score bags of goals and “has a lot more to offer” than just hitting the back of the net.
Touching on his Grealish’s game and the tribute to Keelan during his post-match duties, manager Pep Guardiola went on to add: “Jack is an incredible human being; in terms of gestures and for the other people, he’s incredibly generous.
“I didn’t know that [it was the anniversary of his brother’s death]. I can’t imagine how tough it could be for mum, dad, sister, and all the family. It’s good on this day to remember him, I’m pretty sure they remember every single day.”
A lovely moment from a much-loved character around the Eithad Stadium as well as up and down the country. Rest in peace, Keelan.

Morrisons is introducing ‘sensory support boxes’ in stores for autistic and neurodiverse customers
Emily Sergeant
Morrisons is introducing ‘sensory support boxes’ for autistic and neurodiverse customers shopping in its stores across the UK.
Supermarket shopping isn’t always the most pleasant or manageable of experiences for everyone, especially for those who are autistic or neurodivergent – with bright lights, loud sounds, strong smells, and crowds of people making it a rather overwhelming and overstimulating atmosphere.
This is why Morrisons has decided to collaborate with the National Autistic Society to introduce dedicated ‘Sensory Support Boxes’ at its stores nationwide, as a way to both mark World Autism Acceptance Month, and help autistic and neurodivergent customers have the positive shopping experience they deserve.
These boxes have been carefully-developed in consultation with the National Autistic Society to ensure they include the most helpful items.
A range of toys like fidget balls, spinners, and squish mats can all be found inside the boxes – which will be eventually be available in all 500 Morrisons supermarkets by May – to help encourage calmness and focus.
All that customers wishing to access the items need to do is simply speak to a colleague at the customer service kiosk of their local Morrisons store.
More than one in 100 people are autistic, and there are 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK.

Speaking on the decision to introduce the Sensory Support Boxes into UK stores, Joseph Clark-Bland, who is the Community Manager at Morrisons, said: “It’s a priority for us to ensure all Morrisons customers feel welcomed and understood.
“We’re proud to be leading the way in creating a more inclusive shopping environment for autistic people, their families and all neurodivergent people across the UK.
“World Autism Acceptance Month has been a key moment for Morrisons for many years, and we look forward to supporting even more customers via our new Sensory Boxes.”
The introduction of the Sensory Support Boxes comes after Morrisons first trialled a ‘Quieter Hour’ in some of its stores back in 2018, before rolling it out nationwide in 2024 due to its success and positive feedback.
