Sip into Summer with Refreshing Beach Peach Lemonade

Learn how to make delicious Beach Peach Lemonade. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

The key to this drink lies in selecting ripe, fragrant peaches and fresh lemons for the best flavor. I always recommend picking peaches that are soft to the touch but not mushy, and squeezing lemons fresh for that natural brightness. Whenever possible, I choose organic fruit — it just tastes better and feels good to know we’re using wholesome ingredients for my kids. You can also swap out the sugar for honey or maple syrup if you prefer a natural sweetener.

  • 4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar, adjust to taste
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling and slicing the peaches. To peel easily, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water — the skins will slip right off.
  2. In a blender, combine the peach slices with 1/4 cup of water and blend until smooth. For a chunkier texture, pulse just a few times.
  3. Strain the peach puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove any pulp or skins, pressing gently to extract all the flavor.
  4. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar to the pitcher, stirring well until the sugar dissolves completely.
  5. Pour in the remaining cold water and stir to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed — sometimes I add a little more lemon or sugar depending on the peaches.
  6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if you like for an extra pop of color and aroma.
  7. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill in the fridge for up to 2 hours.
