Take advantage of peach season and blend up a batch of this delicious and refreshing Fresh Peach and Honey Lemonade. Only four ingredients, and all of them are clean.
Homemade Peach Lemonade
Nothing screams summer quite like some homemade lemonade, and this twist on a classic lemonade has a little extra hint of summer ready to pop with the addition of fresh peach.
Whilst you can always go buy some from the store, making it from scratch at home means you have complete control over the ingredients, and you can let the natural sweetness of fresh peach flavor shine through, rather than sugar loaded into the grocery store versions.
When peaches are in season and quite cheap, I always buy up a heap, make up a couple of batches of this homemade peach lemonade, and then prep a bunch using these handy tips on how to peel a peach, storing my prepped peaches in the freezer for a bit of sunshine all year long.
How To Make Fresh Peach Lemonade
This fresh peach and honey lemonade couldn't get any easier to put together.
Gather your simple ingredients:
- fresh ripe peaches, peeled and roughly chopped
- fresh lemon juice (you can use bottled lemon juice or lemonade concentrate if that's what you have)
- local honey (more to taste)
- filtered water
Pop everything into a blender or food processor, blitz until everything is smooth and there are no 'bits' remaining, serve in a large pitcher with lots of ice, and then get your sip on.
Tip: to make sure your lemonade is super smooth, then you will want to remove the peach skins before blending. For a foolproof method on how to do so, check out my tips here: How To Perfectly Peel a Peach.
Serving Suggestions
I like to serve this lemonade in a large pitcher with lots of ice, lemon wedges and some fresh reach slices for garnish.
Fresh mint sprigs pair well if you have some growing in your garden.
If you want to change things up a little, you could blend the peaches, honey, and lemon juice together until smooth, almost like a peach syrup, and then serve with soda water for a sparkling refresher.
Or, as I recently discovered, add some fruity white wine, bubbles, or a splash of vodka for an adults-only version perfect for sipping in the sun on those hot summer days.
Need more summer drink inspiration? I love nothing more than a fresh summer drink made with in-season fruit.

- Homemade Immunity-Boosting Citrus Juice
- Blackberry and Basil Iced Green Tea
- Thyme and Honey Gin Peach Cocktail
Leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container or jug in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Alternatively, pop your leftover peach lemonade into popsicle molds and freeze for another day.
Delicious!
Happy drinking.

I've always liked homemade lemonade much more than store-bought stuff, especially given how sweet the commercial stuff tends to be. I really like the idea of adding peaches! It's been a pretty good peach season around here (late, mind you, but good), and I'm looking for more ideas like this to extend my use of them. My kids would flip for this recipe! And hey, keep on pushing for that bee hive 😀

Oh I will keep pushing alright 🙂 He will cave eventually! Fresh homemade lemonade is so so good, the store bought stuff is just so sweet.
Leah says
I like the way you think! Bubbles in this would be amazing, and you know how I roll! I love the combination of flavors, and it sounds so refreshing and perfect for the summer!
Donna1 says
It is definitely refreshing, and those bubbles do kick it up a notch 🙂

You and I are going to be best friends if those are the kind of "playdates" you like! I have everything I need (including the wine and bubbles) for this peachy-lemonade and I'm feeling really parched right now. Thank you for the idea!
Donna1 says
Haha these are definitely the type of playdates I like 🙂 I am lucky to have found a group of like minded mums!!
Sarah @ Champagne Tastes says
I'm so jealous of your lemon and peach trees! I've got a baby lemon tree, but so far it's too small for fruit. And no peach tree for me! I would LOVE to bee-keep though! This lemonade sounds heavenly!
Donna1 says
I know, every time I think about moving I move it to the back of my mind as I cannot give up my fruit trees!! Bee keeping is still on the agenda, I just have to keep working on the hubby. Or just come home with the supplies and see how long it takes him to notice 🙂
