Ingredients

Scale

Lemon Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
  • 1 cup cold water or sparkling water
  • 2–3 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes as needed

Whipped Foam Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lemon Base: Juice fresh lemons until you have about 1 cup of lemon juice. In a bowl or pitcher, mix the lemon juice with cold water or sparkling water. Add powdered sugar and stir until fully dissolved and smooth. Adjust the sweetness to your liking. Set aside.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and add a splash of vanilla extract if using. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the cream until soft peaks form. The texture should be creamy yet light enough to float on top of the lemonade.
  3. Assemble Your Drink: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the prepared lemon-water mixture over the ice. Gently spoon the whipped cream over the top to create a cloud-like foam that contrasts with the tart lemonade below.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Add a thin slice of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint on top for decoration. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon for an enjoyable refreshing experience.

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients like chilled lemon juice and cream to maintain stable, airy foam.
  • Stop whipping the cream once soft peaks form to keep the foam smooth and spreadable.
  • Freshly squeezed lemons provide the best bright, fresh flavor compared to bottled juice.
  • Gently spoon the whipped cream on top to preserve the cloud-like appearance.
  • Taste the lemon base before assembling to find your ideal balance of tartness and sweetness.
