# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes like a grown-up lemonade stand with a luxurious twist that surprises everyone.
  • You only need five minutes and a whisk to make something that looks like you worked way harder than you did.
  • The cream softens the tartness just enough to make it dangerously drinkable on hot afternoons.
02 -
  • Always use chilled cream or it can curdle slightly when it hits the acidic lemon juice, which ruins the smooth texture.
  • Don't make this more than an hour ahead because the cream can start to separate if it sits too long in the fridge.
03 -
  • Roll the lemons on the counter with your palm before juicing to get every last drop of juice out of them.
  • Use a fine-mesh strainer if you want your drink completely smooth without any pulp or seeds floating around.
