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.
