Description

This Peach Lemonade Slushie is the ultimate summer refreshment, combining the natural sweetness of ripe peaches with the tangy zest of fresh lemon juice. Blended into a smooth, icy slushie, it’s perfect for cooling down on hot days. Garnished with fresh fruit slices and mint, this delightful drink is easy to make and bursting with vibrant flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Base

  • 4 ripe peaches, pitted and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 6-8 lemons)

Liquid and Sweetener

  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

Slushie Elements

  • 4 cups ice cubes

Garnish (optional)

  • Lemon slices
  • Peach slices
  • Fresh mint sprigs

Instructions

  1. Add Peaches: Place the chopped peaches into the blender to start creating your fruity base.
  2. Add Lemon Juice: Pour freshly squeezed lemon juice over the peaches in the blender to bring bright citrus flavor.
  3. Combine Liquid and Sugar: Add water and granulated sugar to the blender, adjusting sugar quantities to your preferred sweetness.
  4. Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides for even blending.
  5. Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Sample the blend and add more sugar if you prefer a sweeter taste, blending again to incorporate.
  6. Strain the Mixture (Optional): Pour the blend through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth to remove any residual peach skin or pulp, pressing to extract all liquid, then discard solids.
  7. Return to Blender: Pour the strained or unstrained peach lemonade back into the blender to continue preparing the slushie.
  8. Add Ice Cubes: Add the ice cubes to the blender to create the icy texture.
  9. Blend to Slushie Consistency: Blend on high speed until you achieve a smooth, slushy texture, scraping down the sides as needed.
  10. Adjust Consistency: If the slushie is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend. If too thin, add more ice cubes and blend again.
  11. Final Flavor Adjustment: Taste and tweak the flavor by adding lemon juice or sugar as necessary, then blend briefly to mix.
  12. Serve: Pour the slushie into glasses or mason jars for serving.
  13. Garnish: Adorn each glass with lemon slices, peach slices, and a sprig of fresh mint to enhance presentation and flavor.
  14. Enjoy Immediately: Serve your refreshing peach lemonade slushie right away for the best icy experience.

Notes

  • Adjust sugar amounts based on the sweetness of peaches and personal preference.
  • Straining is optional but recommended for a smoother texture.
  • If fresh peaches are not available, frozen peaches can be used but adjust ice quantity accordingly.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice may alter taste.
  • Serve immediately as the slushie will melt and lose texture if left out too long.
