Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups frozen peaches (about 450g)
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar (65g)
- 1 cup cold water (240ml)
- 2 cups ice cubes (about 300g)
- Lemon slices and mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Juice the lemons: Roll 4-5 lemons on the counter to soften them. Cut them in half crosswise and juice until you have ½ cup of fresh lemon juice. Pick out any seeds.
- Make a simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and ½ cup of the cold water. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely (about 2-3 minutes). Let cool for a minute.
- Combine ingredients in the blender: Add the frozen peaches, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, remaining ½ cup cold water, and ice cubes to your blender.
- Blend until smooth: Start on low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 60-90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has a thick, slushy consistency. If needed, stop and stir with a long spoon, then continue blending.
- Taste and adjust: Adjust sweetness or thickness to your liking by adding more sugar, water, or ice as needed.
- Serve immediately: Pour into glasses over ice or straight up. Garnish with a lemon slice and a sprig of mint if desired.
- Optional: For a boozy version, add 2-3 ounces of vodka, white rum, or peach schnapps before blending, reducing the water slightly.
Notes
Don’t skip the simple syrup step to avoid grainy sugar. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. For a creamier texture, add ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut cream. For a tropical twist, substitute coconut water for plain water.
