# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The cream turns ordinary lemonade into something luxurious without any fancy equipment or skill.
  • It comes together in less time than it takes to decide what to drink, and every sip feels like a treat.
  • You can tweak the sweetness and creaminess to match your mood or the weather.
02 -
  • Make sure the cream is cold before you add it, or the drink won't feel as refreshing and the texture won't be quite right.
  • Whisk the cream in gently but thoroughly so it blends evenly, otherwise you might end up with creamy pockets and watery spots.
  • Serve this immediately after mixing because the cream can start to separate if it sits too long in the pitcher.
03 -
  • Roll the lemons on the counter before cutting them to get more juice out with less effort.
  • If you want a little extra tang, add a splash more lemon juice right before serving to wake up the flavors.
  • Keep a small bowl of extra sugar on the side so guests can sweeten their own glass to taste.
