Ingredients

Beach Peach Lemonade – Ingredients

  • 3–4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint and peach slices for garnish

Optional: Sparkling water to replace part of the cold water for fizz


Instructions

1. Make the Peach Puree

Place peeled and sliced peaches in a blender. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a smoother drink, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp.

2. Combine Lemonade

In a large pitcher, combine peach puree, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves.

3. Add Water & Chill

Pour in cold water and mix well. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.

4. Serve

Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour lemonade over ice, and garnish with peach slices and fresh mint.

5. Optional Sparkling Version

Replace 1–2 cups of water with sparkling water for a fizzy version. Stir gently to retain carbonation.


Tips for the Perfect Peach Lemonade

  • Use ripe, fragrant peaches for maximum flavor
  • Adjust sugar to taste; sweeter or tarter lemonade works both
  • For a clearer drink, strain peach puree before mixing
  • Add a splash of ginger syrup or fresh ginger for a subtle kick
  • Garnish generously — presentation makes it a “beach” drink

Flavor Variations

Frozen Peach Lemonade

Freeze peaches and ice together to make a slushy version.
