(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups frozen peach slices
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 cup ice cubes
1/2 cup cold water (plus more as needed for blending)

Optional garnish:
Lemon slices
Peach wedges
Fresh mint leaves

Directions

I juice the lemons, measure out my frozen peaches, and get my blender ready.
I combine the frozen peaches, lemon juice, honey, ice cubes, and cold water in the blender.
I blend until the mixture is thick, icy, and pourable, adding more water as needed to reach the perfect slushie consistency.
I taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness to my liking.
I pour the slushie into chilled glasses and garnish with lemon slices, peach wedges, or mint leaves.
I serve immediately, or if making ahead, I freeze the mixture and re-blend with a splash of water before serving.

Variations

Sometimes I add 1/2 cup frozen raspberries for a Peach Raspberry Lemonade Slush with a tangy twist. For a herbal note, I blend in fresh mint leaves. If I want a caffeine boost, I swap the water for chilled green tea. For a creamy version, I add a splash of coconut milk.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover slush in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Before serving, I let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes, then re-blend with a little water to restore its texture.

FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?

I can, but I freeze them first so the drink stays icy without becoming watery.

How do I make this drink sugar-free?

I replace the honey or syrup with stevia, monk fruit, or another sugar substitute.

What if my slush is too thick?

I blend in extra cold water a little at a time until it reaches the consistency I want.

Can I make this ahead for a party?

Yes, I freeze the blended slush in a container, then re-blend right before serving.
