Add the lemon wedges and sugar to a 32-ounce container. Muddle the lemons and sugar together until the lemons soften.
Pour in the water, sweet cream, and fill almost to the top with ice.
Place the cover on and shake the lemonade until well combined.
Using a paring knife, cut an X into the top of the lid and insert a straw.
Notes
No need to roll lemons before juicing, since you’re not muddling them, the juice and oils go straight into the drink.For a more tart flavor, reduce sugar or add more lemon juice. If it’s too tart, balance it with extra sweet cream or sugar.Always wash lemons before using. A warm water rinse or quick vinegar soak is enough, no soap needed.You can add fruit, such as strawberries or raspberries. Use syrups for a stronger, sweeter flavor or fresh fruit for brightness and texture. To keep seeds out, strain the finished drink through a fine-mesh sieve.
