Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the peaches and strawberries thoroughly under cold running water. Slice the peaches in half, remove the pit, and cut them into thin slices. For strawberries, hull and slice them into quarters.
- In a blender, combine the sliced peaches and strawberries. Blend on high speed until smooth. Adjust sweetness with sugar if needed, and blend briefly to mix.
- In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the cold water and stir again.
- Pour the peach-strawberry puree into the lemonade base. Mix gently, leaving some small chunks of fruit for texture. Adjust sweetness with more lemon juice or sugar as desired.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. Serve over ice cubes in glasses, garnished with fresh mint and a slice of lemon or fruit.
- For a fizzy drink, top with club soda or sparkling water. For an adult version, add a splash of vodka or rum.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving, and adjust sweetness if necessary.
