Variations

Fresh lemon twist: I sometimes squeeze fresh lemons and sweeten the juice instead of using the powdered mix.
Berry addition: I like muddling raspberries or strawberries into the lemonade for a fruity upgrade.
Sparkling version: I add sparkling water for a fizzy pop.
Dairy-free option: I whip coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a vegan-friendly version.

I prepare the lemonade base ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
I whip the cream just before serving to keep it light and airy. If needed, I stabilize it with a bit of powdered sugar.
