Print Recipe

Peach Lemonade is a refreshing and vibrant summer drink combining the natural sweetness of ripe peaches with the tangy brightness of fresh lemon juice. Easy to prepare with simple ingredients, this hydrating beverage can be customized for sweetness and served chilled, making it perfect for any occasion from casual BBQs to elegant brunches.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 4 ripe fresh peaches, washed, pitted, and chopped (or pureed)
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 3–4 lemons)

Liquids

  • 4 cups cold water (still or sparkling, based on preference)

Sweeteners

  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar or honey, adjusted to taste (alternatively stevia or monk fruit sweetener for sugar-free)

Other

  • Ice cubes, as needed for serving
  • Optional garnishes: peach slices, lemon wedges, fresh mint sprigs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Wash and pit the fresh peaches, then chop into small pieces to release their juicy sweetness. For a smoother texture, blend the peaches into a puree using a blender or food processor.
  2. Juice the Lemons: Roll the lemons gently on the counter to loosen juice, then cut and squeeze them to extract fresh lemon juice, making sure to remove any seeds for a clean taste.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, mix the peach puree or chopped peaches with the freshly squeezed lemon juice, your chosen sweetener (sugar or honey), and cold water. Stir thoroughly until the sweetener dissolves completely and the flavors meld.
  4. Chill and Serve: Add plenty of ice cubes to the pitcher or pour the lemonade over ice-filled glasses. Garnish with peach slices, lemon wedges, or fresh mint sprigs for an attractive and refreshing presentation. Serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe, juicy peaches for the sweetest and most flavorful lemonade.
  • Adjust sweetener gradually, tasting as you go to find the perfect balance.
  • If you prefer a pulp-free drink, strain the mixture before chilling.
  • Serve extra cold by chilling ingredients beforehand or using plenty of ice.
  • Always use fresh lemon juice for the brightest, most authentic flavor.
