Peach Lemonade
This sweet-tart peach lemonade is my go-to for cooling off in summer! Refreshing and a fun twist on classic lemonade, I’ve perfected it for the best flavor.
If you love drinks like Sparkling Blueberry or Raspberry Lemonade, you’ll love this one too!
Ingredients
- Water: The base of the lemonade, helping to blend all the flavors.
- Peaches: Ripe peaches work best—soft ones will blend smoother and taste sweeter.
- Granulated Sugar: Adjust the sugar based on your peaches; start with less and add more if needed.
- Lemons: Roll lemons on the counter before juicing to get more juice out.
Peach Lemonade Garnish Ideas
Here are some easy garnish ideas to make your Peach Lemonade look and taste even better:
- Peach slices: Drop them in or place on the rim for extra peach flavor.
- Lemon slices or wedges: Adds a fresh citrus flavor.
- Fresh mint: A little sprig adds a cool, fresh smell and a nice touch.
- Frozen peach chunks: Keeps the drink cold without watering it down.
- Sugar-rimmed glass: So fun if you’re hosting!
How To Make Peach Lemonade Tips
- Boil: Stir now and then so the sugar doesn’t stick.
- Cool & Blend: Press with a spoon to get more juice out.
- Add Lemon Juice: Taste and adjust by adding more sugar or lemon juice if needed.
- Chill: Need it cold fast? Place the pitcher in an ice bath.
- Serve: Want fizz? Add sparkling water before serving!
Storage

Recipe Notes
Note 1: Adjust sugar amount depending on how sweet the peaches are. I typically add 1 cup sugar, but decrease it to 3/4 cup if the peaches are very sweet.

Why would you decrease the amount of sugar if the peaches aren’t overly sweet? That doesn’t make sense.
Sorry that’s a typo; if they are overly sweet!
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 🙂
Sounds delicious! Glad you enjoyed it; thanks Paula!
Can you use frozen peaches or caned in their own juice drained
You could try frozen! I’d avoid canned
Has anyone tried making this using alternative sugar?
I am Type 2 diabetic 😊

I hope you love it! 🙂
