Peach Lemonade – Homemade lemonade is taken to a new level with the addition of fresh peaches. It will be your new favorite summer drink!
I am on a roll with these drink recipes, guys! Today’s Peach Lemonade marks my third drink recipe in the last couple months. Do you remember the others?
First, I shared this Homemade Grapefruit Soda and then there was the Sparkling Jalapeno Limeade. Both taste unbelievable and have exactly zero alcohol. Just because I can’t drink doesn’t mean I can’t have some fun drinks of my own!
So can you blame me for creating another one???
As I mentioned above, today’s drink is a refreshing glass of Peach Lemonade, made entirely from scratch. Check it out!
I must be a true Georgian now because fresh peaches are one of my favorite parts are summer. They’re just so juicy and flavorful and taste great in so many different recipes. They’ve even inspired me to create a few new recipes last summer (like this Peach Raspberry Cobbler).
So when thinking through my next drink recipe, I knew I had to infuse peach in some way. With my limeade recipe being such a success (and so simple!), I was drawn to another citrus beverage – fresh lemonade. Nothing screams summer louder than fresh lemonade!
Making lemonade from scratch is much easier than you’d think. And it tastes unbelievably refreshing. If the only lemonade you’ve ever had came in the form of a powder that just required water, prepared to be amazed!
To make this lemonade, you start by infusing the peach in the water with a little sugar. I love the flavor of peach, but it can be a little subtle. So we cook the peaches in water to concentrate the flavor a little more. Once the peach concentrate is completely chilled, simply add fresh lemon juice and serve!
As I talked about in my limeade recipe, I am the proud new owner of an electric citrus juicer. I have never been a fan of buying appliances for one use, but this juicer is a life-saver! This lemonade requires 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, which is about 6-7 lemons. My hands would be sore for days if I had to squeeze by hand!
Here are a few more tips that will help you execute this recipe perfectly:
- Sometimes peach pits are impossible to remove when dicing up peaches. I like to use a small spoon to carve it out when the pit is being stubborn.
- Be very careful when blending the hot peach concentrate. Rule #1 about blending hot liquid is to remove the center cap from the blender lid. This allows the steam to escape. To prevent any liquid from escaping through that hole, I cover the hole very gently with a kitchen towel.
- Do not strain the peach concentrate until it’s completely chilled. The longer the peach pulp sits in the concentrate, the deeper the flavor gets.
There you have it – the drink recipe to top all drink recipes! Your family is going to love this recipe so get ready to make this lemonade all summer long!

Peach Lemonade
Ingredients
- 2 cups peaches skins on, chopped (about 3 peaches)

- Place peach mixture in a blender. Place lid on blender but remove center cap to allow steam to exit (or else you could get a blowout!). Loosely cover hole it a kitchen towel and blend mixture on low. Increase speed to blend mixture completely. Transfer mixture to a bowl and place in refrigerator to cool down completely, about one hour.
- Once mixture is cool, run through a mesh strainer to remove peach pulp. Place peach juice into pitcher and add lemon juice. Stir together. Add sliced peaches and lemon rounds as garnish, if desired.
- To serve, add ice to a glass and pour lemonade into glass. Enjoy!
