Beach Peach Lemonade
Introduction
Sweet, citrusy, and just the right amount of fizzy—Beach Peach Lemonade is the ultimate summer refresher. It’s easy to make, stunning to look at, and tastes like a beach vacation in a glass.
With layers of lemonade, peach nectar, and a gentle kiss of grenadine, this drink is not only perfect for poolside sips but also ideal for garden parties, brunches, or fun mocktail nights with friends.
Why I Love This Recipe
There’s nothing like a glass of cold lemonade on a hot day. But this version? It levels up the classic with peachy sweetness and a hint of sparkle from lemon-lime soda. The grenadine drizzle adds that beachy sunset effect—and when served in a rimmed glass with a peach slice, it’s pure drinkable joy.
If you’re a fan of colorful drinks like Rainbow Sangria or fruity fun like Blueberry Lemonade, this one’s a must-try.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp peach nectar or peach-flavored syrup
- ½ cup lemonade
- ½ cup Sprite or any lemon-lime soda
- A splash of grenadine
- Ice
- Peach slice for garnish
- Optional: Pink sugar for rimming the glass
Directions
1. Fancy Up the Rim
- If you’re feeling extra, dip your glass rim in lemon juice and then into pink sugar for a pretty, sweet finish.
2. Build the Drink
- Fill the glass with ice.
- Pour in the peach nectar first.
- Add the lemonade, followed by a slow pour of Sprite to preserve the bubbles.
3. Add a Pop of Color
- Drizzle grenadine gently down the inside of the glass—it will sink and swirl for a sunset effect.
4. Garnish and Serve
- Add a peach slice and pop in a straw.
- Serve immediately and sip the summer away!
Tips for Success
- For a stronger peach flavor, increase the nectar or add a slice of fresh peach inside the drink.
- Want it boozy? Add a shot of peach schnapps or white rum for an adult version.
- Frozen version: Blend it all with ice for a slushy-style treat.
