Frozen Peach Lemonade instantly takes me back to the summer afternoon I decided to blend a bowl of ripe peaches with fresh lemon juice and ice instead of making a typical smoothie. I was craving something cold, tart, and naturally sweet—and this drink delivered the perfect balance of all three. One sip in and I was hooked, especially when the sun was blazing and all I wanted was something refreshing in my hand.

Now I make this Frozen Peach Lemonade all the time when the temperatures rise and it’s my go-to for hot days by the pool and easy backyard get-togethers and I love how quickly it comes together and how customizable it is and whether I’m blending it up for guests or just treating myself and it’s always a bright and icy burst of summer in a glass.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
Frozen peaches – Provide sweetness, texture, and that thick frozen base
Fresh lemon juice – Adds tartness and brightens the flavor
Honey or agave – Sweetens the drink naturally without overpowering
Water – Helps blend everything smoothly and lightens the texture
Ice cubes – Adds body and keeps the drink icy cold
Lemon slices – Optional garnish that enhances presentation
Peach slices – Optional garnish for a fruity touch

Tools You’ll Need

Blender – Essential for blending the frozen fruit and ice to a smooth texture
Citrus juicer – Makes it easy to get every drop from your lemons
Measuring cups – Helps get the right balance of sweet and tart
Spoon – Useful for tasting and adjusting sweetness
Serving glasses – Keeps the drink cold and looks great for serving
Straw or stirrer – Perfect for sipping and stirring as it melts

Instructions

Step 1:

I start by adding the frozen peach slices to the blender along with freshly squeezed lemon juice and a few tablespoons of honey or agave, depending on how sweet I want it.

Step 2:

I pour in the cold water and a handful of ice cubes, then blend everything on high until the mixture is smooth and slushy.

Step 3:

I pause to taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness—sometimes I add a splash more lemon juice or an extra drizzle of honey.

Step 4:

Once blended to the perfect texture, I pour the frozen peach lemonade into glasses and serve immediately.

Step 5:

I garnish each glass with a lemon wedge and a slice of peach to make it feel extra summery and fresh.

Tips

If you want to make it ahead, I sometimes freeze the blended mixture in ice cube trays and just re-blend when ready to serve. For an adult version, a splash of vodka or white rum turns this into a breezy summer cocktail. And if peaches aren’t in season, frozen mango or strawberries make a delicious substitute!

Ways to Serve

This Frozen Peach Lemonade is perfect for hot summer afternoons, BBQs, or as a sweet complement to brunch. I like to serve it with grilled chicken, fresh salads, or even as a palate cleanser between courses on warmer days. Kids love it, and it’s a great non-alcoholic option for summer parties.
