Key Ingredients & Substitutions

Peaches: Fresh peaches give the best flavor, but you can swap in frozen peaches for convenience and year-round availability. If using frozen, let them soften a bit before blending. That said, nectarines can also work well!

Lemonade: Freshly squeezed lemonade is fantastic for its bright flavor. However, store-bought works just fine, especially if you are short on time. To make it a bit more refreshing, you could use sparkling lemonade for an extra zing.

Ice Cubes: The ice is essential for that slushy texture. You can use regular ice cubes, but I recommend using frozen lemonade or peach juice cubes instead for more concentrated flavor. Just freeze the juice in an ice cube tray ahead of time!

Sweetener: I have an option for honey or sugar here. If you want to keep the slush lighter, consider using agave syrup or a sugar substitute. It’s all about balancing the sweetness with the tartness of the lemonade!

How Do I Achieve the Perfect Slushy Consistency?

Getting the right texture for your peach lemonade slush can be tricky, but I’ve got some tips! The key is to blend well but to keep an eye on the consistency.

  • Start with the peaches and lemonade, then add ice incrementally. This helps control how thick your slush becomes.
  • Blend on high until smooth. If you find it’s too liquidy, add more ice a little at a time, and blend again.
  • If it’s too thick, simply add a splash more lemonade to loosen it up.
  • Be careful not to over-blend; you want it slushy, not soupy!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

For the Slush:

  • 3 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 cups frozen peaches)
  • 2 cups lemonade (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

For Garnishing:

  • Fresh lemon slices
  • Fresh peach slices
  • Mint leaves
  • Paper straws (optional)

How Much Time Will You Need?

This delicious peach lemonade slush takes about 10 minutes to prepare and blend. It’s a quick and refreshing option for a hot day or a fun gathering!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peaches:

If you’re using fresh peaches, start by peeling them and cutting them into slices. If you opted for frozen peaches, let them sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly. This will help with blending.

2. Blend the Ingredients:

In a blender, combine the sliced peaches, lemonade, and ice cubes. If you like your slush a little sweeter, add honey or sugar now. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and soft, but thick enough to be slushy. If it’s too thin, add more ice and blend again until you reach the desired texture.

3. Taste and Adjust:

Give your slush a taste! If you find it needs a little more sweetness or tartness, feel free to adjust it by adding more honey or lemonade. Blend for a few more seconds if you add anything.

4. Serve and Garnish:

Pour the peach lemonade slush into tall glasses. To make it extra special, garnish each drink with a slice of lemon and a slice of peach on the rim. Top it off with a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color and flavor.

5. Enjoy!

Insert a paper straw if you like, and serve immediately. Sip and enjoy your wonderfully fruity, tangy, and icy peach lemonade slush!

This slush is a delightful treat that brings summer vibes to any day. Enjoy every delicious sip!

Can I Use Frozen Peaches Instead of Fresh?

Absolutely! Frozen peaches are a great substitute and add a nice chill to the slush. Just allow them to thaw for a few minutes before blending for easier processing.

How Can I Adjust the Sweetness of the Slush?

You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or sugar you add. Start with 1 tablespoon and blend; then, taste and add more if desired. If your lemonade is already sweet, you might not need any additional sweetener!

Can I Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can prep the peach slices and lemonade a few hours ahead and store them in the fridge. However, it’s best to blend just before serving to keep the slush texture intact. If prepared too early, it may turn into a liquid instead of a slush!

What’s the Best Way to Store Leftover Slush?

The slush is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Just remember that it might lose its slushy consistency, so you may need to re-blend with a bit of lemonade or water after thawing.
