Helpful Hints
Always start with super cold cream for the fluffiest results. Stop whipping as soon as you see soft peaks forming. Feel free to add more or less lemonade mix to match how sweet you want it. Pop your glasses in the fridge beforehand to keep everything extra cool. Don't make the whipped cream too far ahead or it won't look as pretty.

Ways to Enjoy It
Use see-through glasses to show off the pretty pink layers. Add lemon slices and mint leaves on top to make it look fancy. This drink works great at pool parties, wedding events, or just when you need something cool. You could even set up a little station where folks can add their own toppings. It tastes amazing with some simple cookies or fruit on the side.
Keeping It Fresh
This drink tastes best right after you make it, but you can whip the cream a couple hours early and keep it in the fridge. Any leftover whipped cream will stay good in a sealed container for about a day. Don't mix everything together ahead of time or it'll get runny. For big gatherings, you can get the glasses ready with ice and lemonade, then just add the whipped part when guests arrive.
