Use fresh lemon juice: I use freshly squeezed juice here because lemon is one of the main flavors in the drink. You'll need about 2 large lemons for ⅓ Cup.
Use plenty of ice: The heaping cup of ice is what gives the cocktail its frozen, slushie-like texture.
Blend just before serving: Don't make the finished drinks ahead. The ice starts melting and the creamy mixture loses its airy texture as it sits.
Adjust for your lemons: Lemons vary quite a bit in tartness. If mine are particularly sharp, I add sweetened condensed milk 1 Tablespoon at a time until the drink tastes balanced.
Don't overdo the toppings: Whipped cream and a lemon wheel are enough. The drink itself is already quite rich.
