Optional: 1–2 teaspoons sweetener
This yields roughly 2 servings.

Variations

Swap in frozen strawberries or raspberries for a berry‑peach twist

FAQs

1. What if my blender struggles with frozen fruit?

Pulse in short bursts, scrape down the sides, and add a splash of lemonade if it stalls.

2. Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?

Yes—use fresh sliced peaches and increase the ice amount to ensure you still get that slushy texture.

3. Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prep the peaches and lemonade ahead, but blend just before serving to keep it icy.

4. What’s a good sweetener substitution?

Try agave, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute—adjust quantity to taste.

5. Is this recipe suitable for kids?

Absolutely. It’s nonalcoholic, fruity, and naturally sweet—perfect for little ones.

6. How do I make it more filling?

Add Greek yogurt or protein powder for a creamy, more substantial slush.

7. Can I make this dairy‑free?

Yes—it’s naturally dairy‑free unless you add yogurt. Use plant‑based yogurt if desired.

8. What’s the best way to garnish it?

Use a fresh peach slice, lemon wedge, or sprig of mint on the rim for visual appeal and extra flavor.

9. How can I make it less sweet?

Use low‑sugar lemonade, reduce or omit added sweetener, or substitute with unsweetened versions.

Peach Lemonade Slush is the ultimate quick and refreshing drink—fruity, tangy, icy, and endlessly adaptable. Whether you want to keep it simple, kid‑friendly, or give it a boozy twist, this slush is a fun and flavorful way to chill out. Just blend, pour, and chill—summer in a glass, anytime.
