This is the most delicious Creamy Lemonade you’ll ever have. It tastes like a lemon creamsicle and it’s an absolute 💭 dream. If you haven’t seen the lemonade trend yet, I suggest you give it a try ASAP. This is my take on it, and instead of plain water, I actually love to add strawberry 🫧 sparkling water as it takes it to a whole new level for me. Feel free to use any flavored sparkling water you like. This recipe has 3 ingredients and it couldn’t be easier .

Why You’ll Love Creamy Lemonade

This Creamy Lemonade is the most refreshing drink you’ll have this ☀️ summer. It’s thick and frothy, perfectly tart from the 🍋 lemon and oh so creamy. It comes together in a flash using just a hand-held frother so there’s no need to even bust out the blender. Three ingredients, fresh summery flavors, and you’re in heaven!

How to Prepare

🍋 Squeeze your lemon juice into a glass measuring cup .

🥛 Now, add the sweetened condensed milk.

🌀 Then whisk it together or use a frother to combine.

🧊 Add ice and lemon slices to a tall glass and then pour in the sweetened condensed milk mixture.

🫧 Top it off with any sparkling water and enjoy!

Nonna’s Tip 🥤

Variations and Substitutions for Creamy Lemonade

  1. I used 🍓 strawberry sparkling water but you can use any flavor you like or leave it plain.
  2. Feel free to add rum (or alcohol-free rum) to make a really delicious take on piña colada.
  3. To make this dairy-free I would personally try 🥥 coconut milk from a can and skim some of the cream that sits on top and add some sugar and lemon juice. Let me know in the comments if you try this variation!
