Peach Lemonade

Summer days are not the same without a glass of refreshing Lemonade, especially when it’s Peach Lemonade. This simple homemade peach lemonade is made with only 4 ingredients and no artificial flavors. This lemonade is sweet, tart, and full of aromatic peach flavor. You can easily make a batch for dinner or increase the recipe for a big party. 

Speaking of refreshing summer drinks, don’t leave without trying my Strawberry Lemonade and Peach Iced Tea.

PEACH LEMONADE

The second peaches start appearing again at the fresh marker, I come home with bags full of gorgeous, ripe peaches. It’s time to start making lemonades, iced teas, Bellini, cobblers, and cakes loaded with peaches. I don’t stop at sweet treats though. My peach chicken is now a traditional dinner to make at the beginning of peach season. 

On one hand, I get very sad when the season is over and there are no more peaches to be found. But on the other hand, if we had it available all year long, we would not appreciate this fruit as much. It would become mundane like strawberries, grapes, and apples. Instead, we jump for joy when the stock boy bring out a box of fresh peaches for the first time in months. 

I hope I’m not the only one who is jumping at the sight of peaches but I sure do get a lot of people staring at me as I load my shopping bag with peaches. It would be embarrassing if I wasn’t thinking of the tasty Peach Lemonade and Peach Cobbler that I am about to make. 

Peaches are so bright and sunny, they bring happiness whether eaten raw or cooked. Classic lemonade is made so much happier and brighter just with addition of peaches. You can’t beat this simple, refreshing lemonade recipe!

HOW TO MAKE PEACH LEMONADE

Juice lemons and set aside the lemon juice.

You can choose to peel the peaches or leave the skin on. If planning on reusing peaches in pancakes or as ice cream topper, I suggest peeling the peaches before cooking. 

Peel peaches, take out the pits, and slice them. Add peaches into a sauce pot and combine with sugar and 2 cups of water. Stir and bring the mixture to simmer over medium heat. Lower the heat a little and let peaches cook until softened. 

Pour the peach mixture into a pitcher through a strainer. You can add some of the peaches to the pitcher or all of them. Add remaining cold water to the pitcher and fresh squeezed lemon juice. 

Stir everything together and refrigerate until cold.

WHAT OTHER FLAVORS TO ADD

Bring some more flavor to the lemonade by adding other complimentary favors. 

Raspberry Peach – add 6 oz of raspberries to the peaches and cook it together. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer to get rid of the raspberry seeds. 

Mint Peach – add a couple of mint sprigs to the post with peaches when peaches are almost softened and finish cooking. Strain the peach mixture and discard the cooked mint. You can add another fresh mint sprig to the pitches with ready lemonade. 

Ginger Peach – add 2 tsp of sliced fresh ginger to the sauce pot with peaches and cook both together. Strain the peach mixture though and get rid of cooked ginger slices. 

Sparkling Peach – prepare the peach mixture according to the recipe and combine it with the lemon juice. Cool down the mixture and place in the refrigerator until cold. Combine peach mixture with soda water instead of water in the pitcher right before serving.

CAN I MAKE IT INTO A COCKTAIL?

Absolutely! You can make this peach lemonade into a cocktail by adding tequila, gin, or vodka. You can mix individual cocktails or make a whole pitcher. For individual peach lemonade cocktails, combine 2 oz. of liquor with 4 oz of peach lemonade. To make the whole pitcher of cocktails, add about 1 1/2 cups of liquor, depending on how strong you want the punch to be.

    So good! The peach flavor came out really well and it mixed perfectly with the lemon juice. The only (minor) issue that I ran into was that it was a little bit too sweet, but that easily could have been how sweet my peaches were. Perfect for summer!

    Can this be prepared and then frozen for later? I am assuming yes….

    Yummy! With the lemon juice, the peach flavor came out really well. My only (minor) complaint is that it was a little too sweet, but that is easily explained by the sweetness of the peaches. The perfect summer treat!

      I have not tried it, I would imagine it would not taste the same because the canned peaches won’t infuse the same into water. You may have to use the juice in the can and the peaches, I am not sure how it would taste but you could try it.

    How would you do this recipe to make a gallon?

      There are 16 cups in a gallon, this recipe makes 6 cups so you could double it for 12 cups which is slightly under a gallon, or triple it for 18 cups and slightly over a gallon.
