Ingredients
Scale
Slush Base
- 2 cups frozen peach slices
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup honey or granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 to 1½ cups cold water or sparkling water
- 1 cup ice cubes
Optional Garnish
- Fresh mint leaves
- Peach slices
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen peach slices, fresh lemon juice, your choice of honey or granulated sugar, and 1 cup of cold or sparkling water. This mixture forms the flavorful foundation of the slush.
- Blend with Ice: Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend until the mixture is smooth and has a slushy consistency. If the texture is too thick, you can adjust by adding more water until you reach the desired consistency.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the slush and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more honey or sugar and/or lemon juice according to your preference, then blend briefly to mix.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the peach lemonade slush into chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or peach slices if desired to enhance the presentation and freshness. Serve right away to enjoy the icy texture.
Notes
- Use frozen peaches for a naturally chilled and thick slush without needing excessive ice.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking; honey imparts a different flavor than granulated sugar.
- If you prefer a fizzy drink, use sparkling water instead of still water for a refreshing twist.
- Serve immediately to prevent melting and loss of slush texture.
- For a vegan option, use granulated sugar instead of honey.
