This refreshing Peach Lemonade recipe combines the natural sweetness of ripe peaches with the tangy brightness of fresh lemon juice, creating a perfect summer beverage. Made from a homemade peach syrup simmered gently on the stovetop, then blended and combined with fresh lemon juice and cold water, this drink is both vibrant and delicious. Serve chilled with ice and garnished with fresh peach and lemon slices for an inviting presentation.

  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Peach Syrup

  • 3-4 peaches, washed, pitted, and diced (skin on or off as preferred)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water (from the total 4 ½ cups)

Peach Lemonade

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Ice, to serve
  • Fresh peach slices, for garnish
  • Fresh lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peaches: Wash 3-4 peaches thoroughly, remove the pits, and dice them. You may leave the skin on for more texture and flavor or peel them according to your preference.
  2. Cook Peach Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches become soft, the mixture turns syrupy, and the sugar dissolves completely. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
  3. Blend and Strain Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully transfer the peach mixture to a blender or food processor. Secure the lid and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to prevent splatters. Blend until smooth. For a clearer syrup, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve using a spoon or spatula to press the liquid through. Cover and chill the syrup until ready to use.
  4. Mix Lemonade: When ready to serve, combine the chilled peach syrup, 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, and 4 cups of cold water in a large pitcher. Stir well to blend all the flavors together.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Add ice to the pitcher or individual glasses. Garnish with fresh peach slices and lemon slices for an attractive and flavorful presentation. Serve immediately for the best taste.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by altering the amount of sugar according to your taste.
  • Peach skin contains nutrients and adds color, but feel free to peel peaches if you prefer a smoother syrup.
  • The syrup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a fizzy variation, substitute some or all of the cold water with sparkling water just before serving.
  • If fresh peaches are unavailable, frozen peaches thawed and drained can be used.
