When those hot summer days hit and you’re dying for something cold and fruity, whip up this frozen peach lemonade. Just toss a few things together, hit blend, and you’ll have a refreshing drink in about five minutes. Whether you’re kicking back on the porch or sharing with friends in the backyard, this fun slush always makes people happy.
I first made this peach lemonade for a block party and it was an instant hit. Now, every summer, I look forward to blending up a batch as soon as peaches show up at the store.
Vibrant Ingredients
- Frozen peach slices: give sweet flavor without watering things down, pick bags that don’t add sugar and pick ones that look bright and feel solid
- Lemonade: adds tartness that balances the fruit, use homemade for less sweet or just your go-to store lemonade
- Honey or maple syrup (optional): if you want it sweeter, try floral honey or a splash of pure maple for a cozier taste
- Ice: this is what makes it thick and frosty — use fresh cubes so it stays super clean tasting
- Fresh lemon juice (optional): for extra pop and zest, give a lemon a good squeeze
- Peach slices, lemon wedges, fresh mint, or sugar on the rim: these make it look fun and party-ready
Easy Steps to Follow
- Serve It Up:
- Pour into cold glasses right away for the best slushy vibe, top with peach slices or mint, and dive in
- Give It a Taste:
- Take a sip and decide if you want it sweeter or tangier, then tweak with a bit more honey or lemon juice as needed
- Whizz to a Slush:
- Blend on high for almost a minute till it’s icy, if it ends up too thick splash in extra lemonade, if it’s too thin add another ice cube or two
- Start Blending:
- Toss frozen peaches, lemonade, ice, honey or syrup into your blender, add lemon juice if you want more zing

This whole thing is my ode to peaches, easily my top summer fruit. I’ll never forget mixing a huge jug for my cousins one hot July afternoon — the pitcher was empty before I knew it!
Storage tips
This icy drink is at its best right out of the blender. If you’ve got some left over, pop it in a jar and stick it in the freezer. Stir well or blend again with a splash of lemonade to bring it back to life.
Ingredient swaps
No peaches? Grab frozen mango for something gentler or toss in frozen berries for more tang. Any lemony drink like limeade will do if you’re out of lemonade. Adjust honey or syrup—let your taste buds decide based on the fruit.
Ways to serve
Pour this frosty treat into glasses rimmed with sugar, throw in some bright straws if you’re feeling festive. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamy float or a dash of rum or vodka if you want a grown-up twist.

Backstory and Meaning
Lemonade stands are a summer classic, but this peachy version takes things up a notch. Mixing peaches and lemons just screams backyard fun and always makes me think of family get-togethers and sunny days.
Common Questions
- → Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Definitely—just add more ice so it turns out icy and thick. If you can, freeze your peaches first for best texture.
- → Is homemade lemonade better than store-bought?
Making it at home gives you fresher, custom flavor, but any lemonade you’ve got will work fine.
- → How can I make this drink vegan?
To keep it plant-based, swap honey with maple syrup or agave. It’ll stay sweet and tasty.
- → What garnishes pair well with the drink?
Toss on mint, slices of peach, a wedge of lemon, or roll the glass in sugar for a fun finish and flavor.
- → How do I adjust sweetness and tartness?
Get a taste after blending. Too sweet? Add a dash of lemon. Not sweet enough? Use more honey. Easy fix before pouring.
