If you love the sweet, tangy, creamy flavor of lemon meringue pie, then prepare yourself—because this lemonade recipe captures everything you love about the classic dessert, but in a refreshing, drinkable form. It’s zesty, smooth, and slightly frothy with just the right balance of sweetness and citrus.
It’s like summer in a glass… with a pie-inspired twist!
🍋 Why This Lemonade Is So Special
Traditional lemonade is great, but this version takes things to a whole new level. Inspired by lemon meringue pie, this lemonade is:
- Creamy without being heavy
- Sweet and tangy, just like the filling of the pie
- Lightly whipped and frothy, mimicking the soft meringue top
- Made with real lemons, a hint of vanilla, and a touch of creaminess
Perfect for backyard BBQs, brunches, or whenever you want to impress your guests with something unique and utterly delicious.
🥄 Ingredients (Makes 4 Servings)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- 3/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 3 cups cold water
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (for that creamy pie-like texture)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: whipped egg white (for a meringue-like froth, or use aquafaba for vegan option)
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices and mint (for garnish)
🍹 How to Make It
Step 1: Make a Lemon Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the lemon juice and sugar. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves completely, stirring often. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 2: Mix the Creamy Base
In a pitcher, mix:
- The cooled lemon syrup
- Cold water
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Vanilla extract
Stir well until fully combined. Taste and adjust sugar or water if needed.
Step 3: Optional Frothy Finish
To get that light, fluffy meringue-style top:
- Whip 1 egg white until soft peaks form (or use 2 tbsp aquafaba).
- Gently fold into the lemonade mixture, or spoon on top when serving.
