- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger groups.
Storage
Store the blended lemonade base in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, add whipped cream and garnishes just before serving to maintain freshness and texture. Re-blend briefly if separation occurs. This drink is best enjoyed immediately for its thick, frosty consistency.
