What does peach lemonade taste like?

Peach lemonade will be sweet, fruity, tart, and a bit sour from the lemon juice added. I love how this is a sweeter twist than a classic lemonade. The peaches help to elevate the flavor even more.

Ingredients Needed

Peaches: Fresh peaches are what we used for this lemonade. It is naturally sweet and refreshing, and peaches are very juicy.

Sugar: I also add granulated sugar to the mixture to help balance the sweetness. The sugar helps bring out the sweetness of the peaches.

Water: Opt for filtered water to help add hydration to the drink.

Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice is best, as it will have the best overall flavor of the lemonade.

Mint: Mint is optional, but it will help add an herbal note and a sophisticated flavor to the drink.

Storing Leftover Peach Lemonade

Refrigerate any lemonade you do not drink right away. In a sealed container, it will store for around three days. Just stir between pourings to ensure it is well blended.

You can also freeze leftovers. Use ice cube trays or pour them into a freezer bag and freeze them for later. Thaw the liquid or add ice cubes to more lemonade, water, or a lemon-lime soda for sipping.

Adjust Sweet and Tartness

You can add more sugar to sweeten the drink or opt for less sugar if you don’t want it as sweet. Then, in terms of tartness, add less lemon juice for a more mild tartness. Add more lemon juice to enhance the tart factor.

Room Temperature Lemons

Using room-temperature lemons instead of cold lemons from the fridge is critical for getting more juice out of them. I roll the lemons on the counter and then slice them for juicing. This method works best for me.
