Description
A refreshing and vibrant Peach Lemonade recipe perfect for warm days, combining homemade lemonade with fresh peaches and mint for a naturally sweet and tangy beverage that serves six.
Ingredients
Scale
Lemonade
- 1 recipe Homemade Lemonade or 8 cups of your favorite lemonade
Fruit & Herbs
- 4–5 fresh peaches
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Lemonade: Make the lemonade according to your homemade lemonade recipe or use 8 cups of your favorite prepared lemonade. Set aside or chill until ready to use.
- Slice Peaches: Wash the fresh peaches thoroughly, remove the pits, and slice them. Reserve about a quarter of the peach slices to add to the pitcher and use as garnish.
- Blend Peaches and Mint: Place the remaining peach slices into a blender with 1 cup of the prepared lemonade and 1 tablespoon of fresh mint. Blend the mixture until smooth. For a thinner consistency, strain the blended mixture through a fine sieve before adding to the pitcher.
- Combine: Pour the blended peach and lemonade mixture into a large pitcher. Add the remaining lemonade and stir well to combine. Add the reserved peach slices and optionally lemon slices to the pitcher to enhance the presentation.
- Serve and Garnish: Chill if necessary, then serve the peach lemonade over ice cubes to keep it cold without diluting too quickly. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and peach slices for a beautiful finishing touch.
Notes
- To keep the lemonade from diluting quickly, add ice just before serving rather than chilling the entire pitcher with ice.
- For a smoother drink, strain the blended peach mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
- Fresh mint enhances the flavor but can be adjusted or omitted depending on preference.
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- This recipe can be easily adjusted for sweetness by adjusting the amount of lemonade or adding a little honey if desired.
