Zesty Raspberry Peach Lemonade Summer

As seen in Sip, Savor, and Celebrate.

Kick things off by whizzing fresh raspberries and juicy peaches in a blender. Strain for a clear finish. Whip up an easy sugar syrup next. Mix everything up with icy water and a squeeze of lemon juice. Drop in some ice, add peach chunks, more berries, or a sprig of mint to top it all off. It's an easy win for hot weather—awesome for backyard hangs or lazy picnics, thanks to its bold fruity punch.

Every time the sun comes out, I whip up this peach raspberry lemonade. It’s a cool blend where tangy lemon, fresh raspberries, and sweet peaches mix with just enough sugar. Big pitcher, serious summer vibes.

First time I served this in my backyard, everyone finished it before the food hit the grill. Now, people request it before they even say hello.

Dreamy Ingredients

  • Extra garnish like fresh mint, extra berries, or peach slices: Toss these in for a look that’s fancy and a little more flavor boost—totally up to you
  • Chilled ice cubes: Keeps your glass frosty; clean, filtered ice stops any weird flavors
  • Squeezed lemon juice: Freshly squeezed is best for a real bright kick—skip the bottled stuff, trust me
  • White sugar: It’s all about that classic sweet lemonade taste; add more or less as you like
  • Filtered water: Blend with fruit and mix up your drink; water that’s filtered keeps it tasting fresh
  • Juicy raspberries: These add zing and that beautiful color—grab the ones that look dark and plump
  • Peaches, ripe and soft: Get peaches that press in a little when you touch them; they’ll bring all that sweetness and a lovely shade

Easy Step Guide

Chill and Add Fancy Touches:
Pop your pitcher in the fridge before pouring. Drop in some mint, extra fruit, or whatever you have on top of the finished drink right before handing it out.
Blend the Fruit:
Chop those peaches and blend them with raspberries and a splash of water. Blitz until it’s all smooth and turns pretty pink.
Strain for Smoothness:
Pour the blended fruit through a sieve into a bowl. Use a spoon to smoosh it around. When only the thick stuff’s left, you’ve got it clean and ready.
Make the Syrup:
Pour sugar and water into a saucepan. Warm it up, stir until the sugar is gone, and give it another couple minutes so it thickens. Let it cool off before you use it.
Mix Everything Together:
Fill your jug with ice, lemon juice, water, the syrup, and strained juice. Stir it up until it tastes just right and looks blended.

I like to grab extra mint sprigs every time I serve this drink. The mint totally wakes up the flavor and brings back memories of snipping herbs with my grandma.

Keeping It Fresh

Stick your lemonade in the fridge with the lid on and you’re good for 3 days. Wait on garnishes till you pour so they stay crisp. Leftovers? Pop ‘em in a mason jar with a tight lid.

Swap Outs

No peaches? Grab nectarines. If you only have frozen raspberries, just make sure they’re thawed first. Like honey or agave instead of sugar? Mix those into the warm water when making the syrup so they melt right in.

How to Serve It

This pink drink is perfect at a brunch or picnic. Load up your glass with ice, float some fruit on top, and for something fun, toss in a little sparkling water or a splash of chilled white wine.

Story and Tradition

All over, people have their own favorite way of making summer lemonade. Growing up, my mom always made giant pitchers. Tossing in peaches and raspberries made it extra special—almost a little celebration in a glass.

Common Questions

→ Can I swap fresh for frozen fruit?

Sure! Frozen peaches and raspberries totally work. Just let them defrost first so they blend up better.

→ Can I tweak how sweet it is?

Of course! Add more or less sugar syrup to get it just how you like it, or go with honey for something a little different.

→ What's the shelf life in the fridge?

Your lemonade's good for about 3 days if it stays cold. Just give it a stir since the fruit bits can settle at the bottom.

→ Is it okay to prep this ahead of time?

Go for it! Mix everything except for the ice and toppings, then toss those in right before people grab a glass.

→ Which toppings are a good match?

A handful of raspberries, peach wedges, and some mint perks up the look and adds a fresh hint.

→ Can I swap out regular sugar?

Yep! Try some maple syrup or agave. Just adjust so it's sweet enough for you.
