Why I Love This Drink
- Naturally sweet and fruity from real peaches
- Freshly squeezed lemons give it that crisp, tart kick
- No artificial flavors or colors
- Easy to make in big batches for parties or cookouts
- Tastes amazing over ice—or spiked with a little something extra for the adults 😉
Ingredients
- 🍑 3 peaches, peeled and chopped
- 🍬 ¾ cup sugar
- 🍋 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 8 lemons)
- 💧 5 cups water
Directions
🍑 1. Make the Peach Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine the peaches, sugar, and 2 cups of the water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the sugar dissolves and the peaches soften.
🌀 2. Blend and Strain
Carefully transfer the peach mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.
Pour the puree through a fine mesh strainer, pressing with a spoon to extract every last drop of juicy flavor. Let the mixture cool completely.
🍋 3. Mix with Lemon Juice
Once cooled, pour the peach puree into a pitcher.
Add the lemon juice and the remaining 3 cups of water.
Stir until well combined.
❄️ 4. Serve Chilled
Pour over a tall glass filled with ice and garnish with a peach slice or lemon wedge for that extra flourish.
