I love making this Frozen Peach Lemonade when I want something bright, refreshing, and incredibly easy.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups frozen sliced peaches (no sugar added)

1 cup lemonade (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (for extra tang)

1–1½ cups ice (for thicker texture)

Optional: fresh mint leaves, lemon slices for garnish

Directions

First, I add the frozen peaches, lemonade, honey (if I’m using it), fresh lemon juice, and ice to a high-powered blender.

Then I blend everything on high until the mixture is smooth and slushy. If I want it sweeter, I add a little more honey or sugar. If I want more tang, I squeeze in extra lemon juice and blend again briefly.

Once the texture is thick and icy, I pour the frozen peach lemonade into chilled glasses. I like to garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint for a fresh finishing touch. Then I serve immediately and enjoy while it’s perfectly frosty.

I find this recipe perfect for sharing, but it’s just as easy to scale up if I’m serving a small crowd.

Variations

When I want to make a boozy version, I blend in 1–2 ounces of vodka, rum, or peach schnapps. It turns into a refreshing frozen cocktail that’s perfect for summer gatherings.

If I feel like changing the fruit, I swap the peaches for frozen mango or strawberries. Each fruit gives the lemonade a completely different but equally delicious twist.

For a creamier version, I add a splash of coconut milk or a spoonful of vanilla yogurt. This makes the drink richer and almost dessert-like.

Storage/Reheating

I prefer to enjoy this drink immediately after blending because the texture is at its best when freshly made.

If I have leftovers, I store them in the freezer in an airtight container. When I’m ready to serve again, I let the mixture sit at room temperature for a few minutes, then re-blend to restore the slushy texture. If needed, I add a small splash of lemonade to help it blend smoothly.

Since this is a frozen drink, reheating is not recommended.

FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?

Yes, I can use fresh peaches, but I make sure to add extra ice to achieve the same thick, frozen texture. The drink may be slightly less creamy compared to using frozen fruit.

How do I make this less sweet?

I reduce or skip the honey or sugar and use a more tart lemonade. I also increase the fresh lemon juice slightly to balance the flavor.

Can I make this ahead of time?

I can blend it ahead and freeze it, but I always re-blend before serving to bring back the smooth, slushy consistency.

What blender works best?

I find that a high-powered blender works best to fully break down the frozen peaches and ice, creating a smooth texture without chunks.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, I can easily double or even triple the ingredients as long as my blender is large enough to handle the volume. I sometimes blend in batches if needed.

Conclusion

I keep this Frozen Peach Lemonade recipe in my regular rotation because it’s quick, refreshing, and incredibly adaptable. I love how easily I can adjust the sweetness, texture, and flavor to suit my mood. Whether I’m serving it at a gathering or enjoying a quiet afternoon treat, this icy drink always delivers a burst of bright, fruity flavor.
