• Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 3 cups frozen peach slices
• 1 ½ cups lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
• 1 cup ice cubes
• Fresh lemon slices and peach wedges, for garnish (optional)

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by adding the frozen peach slices, lemonade, and honey (if you like it a bit sweeter) into your blender. The frozen peaches give this slush its silky texture, so don’t skip on the frozenness here!

Step 2:

Throw in a cup of ice cubes to get that perfect chilled slush consistency. Blend everything on high for about 30–45 seconds. You’ll want to check the texture—if it’s too thick, just add a splash more lemonade to loosen it up.

Step 3:

Give it a quick taste test. If it’s not tangy enough, squeeze in a little fresh lemon juice. Blend again just to mix.

Step 4:

Pour into tall glasses and garnish with lemon slices and a wedge of peach for a pretty finishing touch.

Step 5:

Pop a straw in (or better yet, a cute reusable one), sit back, and enjoy the cool, fruity burst of flavor!

Variations & Tips

• Try using fresh peaches instead of frozen; just add more ice to keep it slushy.
• Swap lemonade for sparkling lemonade for a fizzy twist.
• Add a handful of fresh mint leaves to the blender for a refreshing herbal note.
• Use maple syrup instead of honey for a deeper sweetness.
• For an adult version, add a splash of vodka or rum before blending.
• If your blender isn’t super powerful, pulse slowly and add ice gradually to avoid overworking the motor.

How I Like to Serve It

This Peach Lemonade Slush is my go-to for backyard barbecues, lazy summer afternoons, or whenever I need a quick cool-down after some gardening. It pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or a light salad. Plus, it’s colorful enough to brighten up any brunch table or pool party!

Notes

• Best enjoyed fresh; if stored in the freezer, stir well before serving again.
• You can prepare the peach and lemonade mixture ahead of time and freeze it in ice cube trays to blend fresh slush anytime.

Closing: This Peach Lemonade Slush consistently delivers that perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and icy, making it my favorite summer treat for beating the heat.
