This Peach Lemonade is so delicious and refreshing! This easy-to-make drink requires only four ingredients: water, ripe peaches, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and sugar! Peach Lemonade This sweet-tart peach lemonade is our top pick for cooling off in the summer. It’s super refreshing and a really fun change from regular lemonade. We’ve tried and tweaked it to make sure it’s just right. If you like mixing things up, like with our Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade or Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade, you’ll definitely enjoy this one. It’s a great way to beat the heat and enjoy something delicious. Ingredients Water: Forms the base of the lemonade, diluting the other ingredients to create the right consistency and flavor. Peaches: Provide the primary flavor and natural sweetness to the lemonade. Sugar: Adds additional sweetness. The amount can be adjusted to suit your taste and the sweetness of the peaches. Lemon Juice: Contributes tartness and acidity, balancing the sweetness of the sugar and peaches. It also adds a fresh, citrus flavor. For Serving: Ice, Lemon Slices or Additional Peach Slices, Fresh Mint: Ice is used to cool the drink. Lemon and peach slices are for enhancing flavor and visual appeal. Fresh mint is used as a refreshing garnish. How To Make Peach Lemonade Chop Peaches: Coarsely chop two or three ripe peaches to yield 2 cups. Simmer: Combine water, chopped peaches, and sugar in a pan. Stir until sugar dissolves and peaches soften. After boiling, cover and simmer until peaches are tender. Blend: After cooling a bit, blend the mixture until smooth. Strain: Pass the blended mixture through a sieve, discarding or saving the solids. (Those solids can be added to a breakfast smoothie like this Mango Smoothie.) Add Lemon Juice: Stir in freshly squeezed lemon juice, then chill. Serve: Serve the chilled lemonade over ice with thin peach slices. Enjoy your Peach Lemonade!

Chelsea, this drink looks so lovely and refreshing, I definitely HAVE to try it. Your photography is BEAUTIFUL as well, I love how the colors of the peach and the juice really POP in your pictures. Reply
This was delicious! It took about 5-6 peaches to fill the 2 cups and I used a full cup of sugar. Had also bought a container of unsweetened green tea previously, mixed both together and had the perfect Starbucks copycat 🙂 Reply
Why would you decrease the amount of sugar if the peaches aren’t overly sweet? That doesn’t make sense. Reply
