Tricks for the Best Results
Always start with super cold cream for the fluffiest whip. Don't beat your cream too long or it'll get grainy. Feel free to add more or less lemonade mix depending on how sweet you like it. Pop your glasses in the fridge before making the drinks. For the tastiest result, make your whipped cream right when you need it.

Ways to Enjoy
Go for tall see-through glasses to show off the pretty layers. Add some lemon slices and mint to make it look fancy. These drinks work great at pool parties, wedding showers, or just when you want something cool. You could even let folks add their own toppings. They taste awesome with some simple cookies or fresh fruit on the side.
Keeping It Fresh
These drinks taste best right away, but you can make the whipped cream a couple hours early and keep it in the fridge. Any extra whipped cream can stay good in a sealed container for about a day. Don't mix everything together ahead of time or it'll get runny. When hosting, get glasses ready with ice and lemonade, then add the whipped topping just as guests arrive.
