This is basically my love letter to peaches my top favorite summer fruit I still remember whipping up a huge batch for my cousins on the steamiest July day and not a single glass made it to the table for me
Keeping it fresh
It’s best right as it comes out of the blender to keep that slushy magic Leftovers can hang out in a lidded jar in the freezer later Just stir well or toss it back in the blender with a bit more lemonade to get it lively again
Subbing stuff in
No peaches? Frozen mango works for a gentle twist or grab a bag of mixed berries if you want more tartness Any lemon type drink even limeade will do if you’re in a pinch Just adjust the honey or syrup to match your fruit’s sweetness
Fun ways to serve
Pour this frosty lemonade into glasses coated with sugar and pop in bright straws to jazz it up Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to turn it into a float or put a splash of vodka or rum for a grownups only vibe

Common Questions
- → Is it okay to use fresh peaches if I don't have frozen?
You sure can. Just add a handful more ice for that thick, cold texture. Best if you freeze the peach slices ahead of time.
- → Is it worth making homemade lemonade, or does store-bought work?
Homemade lemonade tastes fresher and you can tweak it how you like. Still, bottled stuff works great if you're in a hurry.
- → How do I keep it plant-based or vegan?
Go for agave or maple syrup instead of honey. Both sweeten the drink up nicely and keep it totally vegan.
- → What are some good topping ideas?
Try a rim coated with sugar, peach slices, fresh mint, or even a lemon wedge. All make the drink pop and taste even better.
- → What's the easiest way to make it sweeter or more tart?
After you blend, just taste and mix in a little more honey or an extra squeeze of lemon till it’s right for you.
