Peach Lemonade Slush
Peach Lemonade Slush is a chilled beverage made by blending fresh peaches, lemon juice, sweetener, and ice into a smooth, icy drink with a velvety texture. The combination of juicy fruit and tart lemon creates a refreshing, summery treat with a vibrant appearance. The final consistency is thick and slushy, perfect for hot days.
Equipment
- Blender
- Citrus juicer
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and pitted roughly chopped
- 0.5 cups fresh lemon juice about 2-3 lemons
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar adjust to taste
- 3 cups ice cubes
Instructions
- Place the peeled and pitted peaches into the blender, ensuring they're evenly spread out.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the peaches, providing a bright, tangy flavor that complements the sweetness.
- Pour in the ice cubes, which will be blended later to create that signature icy slush texture.
- Secure the lid on the blender and start blending on a high setting, allowing the mixture to break down into a smooth, icy consistency—about 30-45 seconds.
- Stop the blender and check the texture; if it's too thick, add a splash of water or more lemon juice, then blend again until velvety and evenly slushy.
- Taste the slush and, if desired, add a little more honey or sugar for extra sweetness, then give it a quick blend to incorporate.
- Pour the Peach Lemonade Slush into glasses, garnishing with a slice of peach or a lemon wedge if you like.
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the chilled, velvety texture of this refreshing summer treat.
