Frozen Peach Lemonade Blend

This frozen peach lemonade is my favorite way to cool down on hot afternoons. It strikes a perfect balance between sweet and tangy while feeling light and refreshing. It is quick to make and uses simple ingredients you probably already have.

I first blended this up on a scorching day when I had ripe peaches in the freezer and lemons on hand. It quickly became a summer staple at home because it is both satisfying and light enough to enjoy any time of day.

Ingredients

• Two cups frozen peach slices: fresh peaches add natural sweetness and a thick fruity texture. If possible, use ripe peaches and freeze them yourself for the best flavor
• Half a cup freshly squeezed lemon juice: about two to three lemons. Fresh lemon juice gives the lemonade a zesty brightness you cannot replicate with bottled juice
• Quarter cup honey or maple syrup: adjust to taste. Honey adds floral notes while maple syrup adds a subtle earthiness. Use what you prefer or have on hand
• One cup ice cubes: helps create the frozen slushy texture that makes this drink so refreshing. Using ice also chills the drink quickly
• Half a cup cold water: plus more for blending. This thins out the mixture so it blends smoothly without watering down the peach flavor
• Lemon slices and peach wedges: optional for garnish. Adds a fresh look and hints at the flavors inside
• Mint leaves: optional for garnish. Adds aroma and a pop of green that brightens the presentation

Instructions

Juice The Lemons:

Squeeze fresh lemons until you have about half a cup of juice. Make sure to remove any seeds. Fresh lemon juice really makes the drink lively and fresh

Measure The Peaches:

Use two full cups of frozen peach slices. If your peaches are very sweet, you can reduce the amount of honey later

Combine Ingredients In Blender:

Add the frozen peaches, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, ice cubes, and half a cup of cold water to your blender. A high-speed blender works best for a smooth texture

Blend Until Slushy:

Blend everything on a high setting until the mixture is smooth and slushy. Check the texture and add more water a little at a time if it’s too thick. I learned the hard way that adding water gradually is key to keeping the flavors concentrated but still drinkable

Taste And Adjust:

Give the drink a taste. Add more honey or lemon juice to suit your preference. I usually add a touch more honey if the peaches are tart that day

Serve And Garnish:

Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with lemon slices, peach wedges, and mint leaves if you like. Serve immediately for the best slushy texture

I love adding mint leaves as a final touch. It reminds me of summer afternoons with family when we’d sip this on the porch. The fresh mint aroma pairs beautifully with the fruity tang

Storage Tips

Frozen peach lemonade is best enjoyed fresh but you can store leftovers in the freezer in a sealed container. Thaw slightly and stir well before serving as the texture may separate when stored. Avoid refreezing to keep the best consistency

Ingredient Swaps

Try replacing honey or maple syrup with agave or coconut sugar for a different sweetness profile. If you do not have frozen peaches use fresh peaches and swap ice cubes for frozen fruit to keep the chill. Lemons can be substituted with limes for a citrus twist that changes the flavor but keeps the refreshing vibe

Serving Ideas

Make it a little more decadent by adding a splash of sparkling water for fizz. Pair with light summer snacks like fresh berries, cucumber sandwiches, or a crisp salad for a complete refreshing experience. Serve in tall glasses with colorful straws and plenty of ice for a fun presentation that everyone will love

This lemonade is a perfect refreshing treat that combines simplicity with vibrant flavors making it ideal for any warm day.
