Method
Preparation
- In a pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved to create your classic lemonade base.
- Pour in the 4 cups of water and mix well. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- In a blender, add strawberries or raspberries. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the puree to remove seeds.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a whisk or an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip; you want it creamy, not stiff.
- Gently fold the berry puree into the whipped cream until you achieve a swirled effect.
Serving
- Fill glasses with ice, pour the lemonade, and top with a generous dollop of the whipped berry cream mix. Garnish as desired with fresh berries or mint leaves.
Notes
Make the lemonade base ahead of time and refrigerate for a few hours. Store any leftover lemonade in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The whipped topping is best made fresh.
