Peach Lemonade

2 · Jun 30, 2017 ·

It’s the first of July tomorrow so I guess that means we are already half way through 2017. Somehow. The super sunny weather may seem like a distant memory, but I’ve got you covered with the summeriest soft drink around – my gorgeous peach lemonade. Because seriously, what’s more sunshiny than sweet juicy peaches and tangy vibrant lemons?

Nah, I’ve got nothing.

If I’m honest, one of the main reasons I wanted to make peach lemonade for you this week, is to take some cute photos of my new favourite things in the whole world – my new flamingo/cactus/watermelon glasses. I’m genuinely obsessed with them. We got them the day before we went on holiday a few weeks ago, and there was a part of me who was excited to get home so I could look at them again. Yep, I’m that person. 

If you want to snag yourself some, they were from John Lewis – you can find them here, here, and here.

I’m just obsessed with them.

Moving on. You’re here for peach lemonade, right? This one’s super easy, I promise. Get some ripe juicy peaches, chop them up (you don’t even need to skin them) and then throw them in a saucepan with some sugar, lemon zest, and water. Simmer for ten minutes, strain out the pulp, and then top up with some lemon juice and water. Still or sparkling – it’s your call. And that’s it. 

You can dress it all up with some cute straws, mint leaves, and slices of fresh lemon and peach, or just fill a glass with ice and drink it chilled to keep yourself cool in the summer heat. 

The recipe below makes about a litre and a half, so that’s enough to make five or six tall glasses, or even more if you’re using short glasses like me ?

This recipe was inspired by the great response I got from Katie to my recent foray into the world of limeade, and so I just knew I needed to get back in the kitchen and create another summer drink. I love that when you dress this peach lemonade up it looks good enough to go toe to toe with any summer cocktail, so us non-drinkers need not worry about missing out on all the fun. Of course, you can easily spike this with some peach schnapps or vodka, and it would make a great pitcher cocktail at your next summer party.

I’ve got so many great summer recipes planned for the next few months – everything from ice lollies, fruity desserts, and plenty of summer cupcakes like last week’s Mojito ones, and of course, my Strawberry Eton Mess cupcakes.

Prep Time
25 min
Total Time
1 hr
Ingredients
  1. 4 fresh peaches
  2. 200g (1 cup) caster sugar (US granulated sugar)
  3. Zest of 1 lemon
  4. 240ml (1 cup) fresh or bottled lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)
  5. Sparkling water (or regular water if want still)
  6. Fresh lemon slices, peach wedges, mint to garnish
Instructions
  1. Chop the peaches into chunks, removing the stones - there's no need to peel them. Place in a large saucepan with the sugar, lemon zest, and 480ml (2 cups) of tap water. Stir together, and bring to the boil on a medium heat. Once boiled, mash the peaches using a potato masher or fork, and then reduce the heat to a simmer and leave for 10 minutes. Remove the peaches from the heat and leave to cool.
  2. If using fresh lemons, juice these until you have 240ml (1 cup) of juice. Pour the lemon juice into a large jug or bowl, and then strain the peach syrup through a sieve into the same jug or bowl. Throw away the peach pulp.
  3. Top up the jug or bowl with 720ml (3 cups) of still or sparkling water. Serve in glasses with ice, peach wedges, lemon slices, and a sprig of fresh mint.
STORAGE
  1. This peach lemonade will stay fresh if stored in the fridge for 5-6 days. Cover the pitcher or jug with clingfilm or plastic wrap if you are going to keep it for this long.
