# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • The cream creates this luxurious mouthfeel that makes you feel like you are drinking something from a fancy cafe
  • It balances the sharp acid of fresh lemons so people who usually find lemonade too tart can actually enjoy it
02 -
  • This drink separates over time as the cream rises to the top, so give it a quick stir before pouring each glass
  • Super cold cream incorporates better, so pop it in the freezer for ten minutes before you start making the lemonade
03 -
  • Roll your lemons on the counter before juicing to break down the internal membranes and get way more juice
  • Make the lemon base a day ahead and add the cream right before serving for the freshest taste
