This Refreshing Peach Lemonade Slush is the perfect drink to cool you down on a hot day! It’s a tasty blend of sweet peaches and zesty lemonade, all frozen into a frosty slush.
I love how easy it is to make—just blend the fruits and lemonade together! It’s like sipping on summer in a cup. Don’t be surprised if you want seconds (or thirds)! 🍑🍋
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Frozen Peach Slices: Using frozen peaches gives the slush a thick, creamy texture. If you can’t find frozen peaches, fresh ripe peaches can be used, just add more ice to achieve the slushy consistency.
Lemonade: Freshly squeezed lemonade really enhances the flavor. If you’re in a pinch, store-bought lemonade works fine! Look for one that has real lemon juice for the best taste.
Honey or Simple Syrup: This is optional, especially if the peaches are sweet enough. If you want a healthier option, you can use maple syrup or agave syrup. Just taste as you go to achieve your desired sweetness!
Ice Cubes: The ice gives the slush its classic frosty texture. If you prefer a softer slush, you can reduce the amount of ice or use crushed ice.
How Do I Get the Perfect Slushy Consistency?
Achieving the right slushy texture is key for this drink. Start by blending your ingredients on high speed for about 1-2 minutes. If your slush seems too thick, don’t hesitate to add a bit more lemonade and blend again.
- Check the softness after blending. It should be thick but drinkable with a straw.
- If you use fresh peaches, add extra ice to help get that frosty slush effect.
- Don’t rush the process! Gradually add ingredients until you find the perfect mix for your taste.
Enjoy your refreshing slush all summer long! 🍑🍋
