Description
A refreshing Peach Lemonade recipe that blends homemade lemonade with fresh peaches and mint, perfect for a cool and fruity summer drink.
Ingredients
Scale
Lemonade
- 1 recipe Homemade Lemonade (or 8 cups of your favorite lemonade)
Fruit and Garnish
- 4–5 fresh peaches
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Lemonade: Prepare the lemonade according to your homemade lemonade recipe or use 8 cups of store-bought lemonade. Set aside or chill in the refrigerator.
- Prep Peaches: Wash and slice the fresh peaches, removing the pits. Reserve about ¼ of the peach slices for garnish and adding to the pitcher later.
- Blend Peach Mixture: Place the remaining peach slices in a blender along with 1 cup of the prepared lemonade and 1 tablespoon of fresh mint. Blend until smooth. For a thinner consistency, strain the blended mixture through a fine sieve or strainer into a pitcher.
- Combine and Garnish: Pour the blended peach mixture into the pitcher with the rest of the lemonade and stir to combine. Add the reserved fresh peach slices and lemon slices to the pitcher for a pretty presentation. Garnish individual glasses with fresh mint sprigs and peach slices as desired.
- Serve: Add ice to the pitcher or pour the peach lemonade over glasses filled with ice to keep the drink chilled without diluting it too quickly.
Notes
- For best flavor, use ripe, juicy peaches.
- Adjust sweetness by adding sugar or honey to the blended peach mixture if desired.
- Straining the blended peaches is optional but helps achieve a smoother texture.
- This recipe serves 6 and is best enjoyed immediately but can be chilled for up to 24 hours.
