A creamy, frothy pink lemonade made with fresh lemons and a touch of sweetness – the ultimate summer refresher for parties and hot days.

Scale

1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 tsp salt

2 cups cold water

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup grenadine or cranberry juice (for pink color)

Ice cubes

Lemon slices and fresh mint, for garnish

1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Heat until sugar dissolves to make simple syrup. Let cool.

2. In a blender, combine lemon juice, remaining cold water, and simple syrup.

3. Add heavy whipping cream and grenadine/cranberry juice.

4. Blend on high until frothy and smooth.

5. Pour over ice cubes in glasses.

6. Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves.

7. Serve immediately for a refreshing, creamy summer drink.

For a lighter version, substitute whipping cream with coconut cream or omit entirely.

Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less sugar.

Can be made a day ahead; store chilled and whisk before serving.
