Homemade Lemonade Is The Best
We have been enjoying homemade lemonade on tap for the past couple of weeks. It is so so hot (seriously, it is over 100F every single day, with not a drop of rain in sight), and nothing screams summer quite like some homemade lemonade.
We are so lucky to be able to use lemons and peaches from our own yard...now all I need is to convince the hubby to let me do some bee-keeping and we are in business. With peaches in season right now, you should be able to pick some up at a good price from the local farmers market, or supermarket.
How Easy Is It To Make Honey Lemonade?
This fresh peach and honey lemonade couldn't get any easier to put together.
You pretty much pop everything into the blender and just blend it up until everything is all smooth and delicious.
Tip: if you want to make sure it is super smooth, then you might want to remove the fuzz from the peach before blending. For a foolproof method on how to do so check out my tips here: How To Perfectly Peel a Peach.
Can I Spike This Honey Lemonade?
Why yes you can, good thinking!
I recently discovered at a playdate that this fresh peach and honey lemonade actually pairs quite well with some fruity white wine or bubbles. It makes for quite the refreshing hard lemonade if you are into that kinda thing!
Need more summer drink inspiration? I love nothing more than a fresh summer drink made with fruit in season. Check out these other refreshing beauties:
If you have any leftovers you can always pop them into some popsicle molds and keep them in the freezer for another day. I like to use these ones as they are easy to get out of the molds.
Happy eating.

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.

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 🙂
