Consider creating a drink station with various garnish options. Pair with light cookies or fresh fruit for complete refreshment.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

While best served immediately, whipped cream can be made 1-2 hours ahead and refrigerated. Store any leftover whipped cream in airtight container up to 24 hours.
