Description
Golden Hour Peach Lemonade is a refreshing and flavorful drink perfect for a hot summer day. Made with ripe peaches, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a touch of honey, this beverage is both sweet and tangy with a hint of natural peach flavor.
Ingredients
Ripe Peaches:
4 peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced)
Lemon Juice:
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
Honey or Sugar:
1/2 cup (adjust to taste)
Cold Water:
4 cups
Ice:
1 cup
Garnish:
Peach slices, lemon wheels, fresh mint (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Peaches and Lemon Juice: In a blender, combine the sliced peaches and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the Mixture: Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove pulp. Press with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Add Sweetener and Water: Stir in honey or sugar until fully dissolved. Add cold water and mix well.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Serve over ice with peach slices, lemon wheels, and fresh mint for garnish.
Notes
- For a sparkling version, replace half the water with club soda just before serving.
- You can also add a splash of bourbon or vodka for an adult twist.
