Description

This Peach Lemonade Slushie is the ultimate summer refreshment, combining ripe peaches with freshly squeezed lemon juice for a sweet, tangy, and icy beverage. Perfectly blended with ice and balanced with just the right amount of sugar, this slushie is a cool and rejuvenating treat to beat the heat. Garnished with fresh fruit slices and mint, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Slushie Base

  • 4 ripe peaches, pitted and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 6–8 lemons)
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

Ice

  • 4 cups ice cubes

Garnish (optional)

  • Lemon slices
  • Peach slices
  • Fresh mint sprigs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: Place the roughly chopped peaches into a blender, ensuring they are pitted to avoid any bitterness.
  2. Add lemon juice: Pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice into the blender with the peaches, which adds brightness and tartness to the slushie.
  3. Add water and sugar: Pour in the cup of water and add the granulated sugar. Adjust the sugar quantity based on your preferred sweetness.
  4. Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture until smooth, pausing to scrape the sides as necessary to fully combine all ingredients.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness: Sample the mixture and add more sugar if needed, blending briefly to incorporate.
  6. Strain the mixture (optional): For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth to remove peach skins and pulp. Press down to extract as much liquid as possible and discard the solids.
  7. Return to blender: Pour the strained or unstrained peach lemonade base back into the blender.
  8. Add ice: Add the ice cubes to the blender with the peach mixture.
  9. Blend to slush consistency: Blend on high speed until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
  10. Adjust texture: If the slushie is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition. If it’s too thin, add more ice cubes and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
  11. Final flavor adjustment: Taste the slushie and adjust with additional lemon juice or sugar if desired. Blend briefly to mix.
  12. Serve: Pour the slushie into glasses or mason jars.
  13. Garnish: Add lemon and peach slices along with a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing presentation.
  14. Enjoy immediately: Serve the peach lemonade slushie immediately for the best icy experience.

Notes

  • Straining is optional but recommended for a smoother texture without peach pulp.
  • Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of peaches and personal preference.
  • If fresh peaches are not available, frozen peaches can be used but may alter texture.
  • For a more adult version, consider adding a splash of vodka or rum.
  • To make this drink vegan and gluten free, ensure sugar used is vegan-friendly.
