Method

Prepare Lemonade Base

  1. 1

    Juicing the Lemons

    Cut the lemons in half and juice them to extract the fresh lemon juice. You should have about 1 cup of lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Making Sugar Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat.

    Incorporating Cranberry Juice

    Pour in 1 cup of cranberry juice into the lemonade mixture and stir well.

  2. 5

    Adding Food Coloring

Prepare Frosting

  1. 6

    Whipping the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Use an electric mixer to whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form.
