Introduction

This refreshing Peach Lemonade is a perfect blend of sweet peaches and tangy lemonade, ideal for a warm day. It’s easy to make and wonderfully thirst-quenching, offering a delightful twist on a classic favorite.

Three clear tall glasses are filled with bright orange peach juice mixed with crushed ice, showing slight texture from peach bits inside. Each glass has a garnish on the rim made of one yellow lemon slice and one golden peach slice with a green mint leaf between them. The glasses sit on a white marbled surface scattered with ice cubes, fresh peach halves showing deep red centers, lemon slices, and mint leaves. The background is soft and blurred to keep focus on the front glass. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 recipe Homemade Lemonade (or 8 cups of your favorite lemonade)
4-5 fresh peaches
1 tablespoon fresh mint, plus more for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the lemonade according to your homemade recipe or use your preferred store-bought lemonade, then set aside or chill.
Step 2: Wash and slice the peaches, removing the pits. Reserve about ¼ of the peach slices for garnishing the pitcher and glasses.
Step 3: Place the remaining peach slices into a blender with 1 cup of the prepared lemonade and 1 tablespoon of fresh mint. Blend until smooth. For a thinner consistency, strain the mixture through a fine sieve before adding it to the pitcher.
Step 4: Pour the blended peach mixture back into the pitcher and stir to combine with the remaining lemonade. Add the reserved peach slices and lemon slices for an attractive presentation.
Step 5: Add ice directly to the pitcher or serve the peach lemonade over ice in individual glasses to keep the flavor undiluted.

Tips & Variations

Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
If you prefer a bit of fizz, substitute sparkling lemonade for a lively twist.
Add a splash of sparkling water for extra refreshment without extra sweetness.
Try a few crushed fresh raspberries or strawberries in the blender for added berry notes.

Storage

Store the peach lemonade in a covered pitcher or container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving as some settling may occur. It’s best enjoyed chilled and freshly made for optimal flavor.

How to Serve

Three tall clear glasses filled with light orange peach lemonade with visible small peach bits and ice cubes on top, each glass garnished on the rim with a thin yellow lemon slice, a deep orange peach wedge with a reddish edge, and a small sprig of fresh green mint leaves. The glasses are placed on a white marbled surface scattered with crushed ice pieces. Around them are fresh peaches—some halved showing dark brown pits inside, some whole—and lemon halves, slices, and whole lemons, with a few fresh mint sprigs adding green contrast. A soft yellow cloth is partially visible on the left side. The background is a smooth light gray-blue wood texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen peaches work well if fresh peaches are not available. Thaw them slightly before blending for a smooth texture.

Can I make this recipe sugar-free?

Absolutely. Use a sugar-free homemade lemonade or a low-sugar store-bought version. The natural sweetness from the peaches helps keep the drink flavorful without added sugar.
