Description
A refreshing and vibrant Peach Lemonade recipe combining the zesty brightness of homemade lemonade with the sweet, juicy flavor of fresh peaches and a hint of fresh mint for an irresistible summer drink.
Ingredients
Scale
Lemonade
- 1 recipe Homemade Lemonade (or 8 cups of your favorite lemonade)
Fruit and Herbs
- 4–5 fresh peaches
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Lemonade: Make the lemonade according to your preferred homemade recipe or simply use 8 cups of your favorite lemonade. Chill or set aside while preparing the rest.
- Prepare Peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly, slice them, and remove the pits. Set aside about one-quarter of the peach slices for garnishing the pitcher and glasses.
- Blend Peach Mixture: Place the remaining peach slices into a blender with 1 cup of the prepared lemonade and 1 tablespoon of fresh mint leaves. Blend until smooth. For a thinner consistency, strain the blended mixture through a fine sieve into a pitcher.
- Combine and Garnish: Pour the remaining lemonade into the pitcher with the peach mixture and stir well to combine. Add the reserved fresh peach slices and lemon slices into the pitcher for visual appeal.
- Serve: Add ice cubes directly to the pitcher or pour the peach lemonade over cups filled with ice to keep the drink chilled without diluting the flavor. Garnish individual glasses with fresh mint leaves and peach slices before serving.
Notes
- The recipe works equally well with store-bought or homemade lemonade.
- Straining the blended peach mixture is optional but recommended for a smoother texture.
- Fresh mint enhances the flavor; adjust quantity according to taste.
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- This drink is best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
