This Refreshing Peach Lemonade Slush is the perfect drink for hot days! It’s a sweet blend of juicy peaches and tangy lemonade, making it super yummy and cool.
I love sipping on this slush while lounging in the sun. Plus, it’s so easy to make—you just blend, pour, and enjoy a little slice of summer magic! ☀️🍑
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh peaches truly shine in this slush! They’re sweet and juicy. If peaches aren’t in season, frozen peaches work well too. Just make sure they’re unsweetened for the best taste.
Lemonade: I usually use homemade lemonade for a fresh touch, but store-bought saves time. If you’re looking for a lighter option, lemon juice mixed with water and a bit of sweetener is a great substitute!
Honey or Sugar: You can sweeten this slush to your liking. If you’re avoiding added sugars, try agave syrup or a sugar alternative like stevia. Just remember to blend well after adding any sweetener!
Mint & Lemon Garnish: Fresh mint adds a lovely touch, but if you don’t have it, lemon zest on top works too. It’s a nice alternative and still looks great!
How Do You Make the Perfect Blended Slush Texture?
A smooth, slushy texture is key to this drink! Here’s how to achieve the best result:
- Start with cold ingredients; this helps keep the slush frosty.
- Blend the peaches and lemonade first to ensure they’re well combined, then add in the ice.
- Blend on high speed until it reaches a smooth and slushy consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more lemonade.
- Don’t overload the blender; if you have a lot of ingredients, blend in batches. It’s easier to control the texture this way!
Enjoy making this slush! It’s a delightful drink for any sunny day. 🍑🍋

Can I Use Frozen Peaches Instead of Fresh?
Absolutely! Frozen peaches work great in this recipe and can give your slush an even chillier texture. Just be sure to use unsweetened frozen peaches, and you may want to reduce the amount of ice you add.
How Can I Adjust the Sweetness of the Slush?
You can easily adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or sugar based on your preference. Start with the 2 tablespoons recommended, then taste it before blending again to see if you’d like it sweeter.
What Other Fruits Can I Use in This Slush?
Feel free to get creative! Berries, strawberries, or mangoes can be fantastic additions or substitutes. Just keep in mind that altering the fruit might change the overall flavor, but it’ll still be delicious!
How Long Can I Store Leftovers?
This slush is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can keep them in an airtight container in the freezer. Just know that it might lose some of its slushy texture after being stored. To serve, you can blend it again briefly before enjoying!
