Notes
- You can adjust the sugar according to your sweetness preference.
- For a pink hue, adding a splash of cranberry or grenadine syrup is optional but not included in the original recipe.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor rather than bottled lemon juice.
- Whipping the cream to soft peaks helps achieve the perfect creamy froth without over-whipping.
- Serve chilled and consume promptly for optimal freshness.
