Ingredients
  

Lemonade Base
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons) Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Adjust sweetness to preference.
  • 4 cups water
Berry Mixture
  • 1 cup strawberries or raspberries (fresh or frozen) Choose your preferred berry.
Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup heavy cream Whip until soft peaks form.
  • Ice cubes (for serving)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved to create your classic lemonade base.
  2. Pour in the 4 cups of water and mix well. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  3. In a blender, add strawberries or raspberries. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the puree to remove seeds.
  4. 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.
  5. Gently fold the berry puree into the whipped cream until you achieve a swirled effect.
Serving
  1. 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.
