Ingredients

Scale

Lemonade Base

  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

Whipped Topping

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder

To Serve

  • Ice cubes
  • Optional garnishes: lemon wheel or twist, fresh mint sprigs, edible flowers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lemonade Base: Begin by squeezing fresh lemons until you have about 1/2 cup of lemon juice. In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice, 1 cup of cold water, and your preferred amount of sugar (typically ½ cup). Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  2. Make the Whipped Topping: In a clean mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on high speed for about 5-7 minutes until it transforms into a thick, creamy, and fluffy cloud-like texture perfect for topping your lemonade.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Fill a glass halfway with ice cubes and pour in the lemonade base, leaving some space at the top. Spoon a generous amount of the whipped topping over the lemonade, creating a fluffy layer that sits beautifully on the surface.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect contrast of tart lemonade with the soft, creamy cloud on top. Stir gently before drinking if you prefer a blended experience, or savor the layers as they are.

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients to help the whipped topping maintain its structure longer.
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice provides brighter acidity than bottled juice.
  • Whip at high speed to achieve a light and airy cloud texture.
  • Serve immediately as the whipped cloud can lose loft after sitting.
  • Adjust sugar gradually to avoid an overly sweet or sour drink.
  • Store leftover lemonade base in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; whip topping fresh before serving.
  • Freezing the whipped topping is not recommended as it will lose its texture.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by substituting the topping with whipped aquafaba.
