Peach Lemonade is a lovely way to highlight sweet, ripe peaches. The peaches pair beautifully with lemonade and because they are so naturally sweet, a syrup made from honey (not sugar) keeps this a healthy and deliciously refreshing drink.
You might be inclined to add vodka or tequila…go for it! No judgement!

To make the honey syrup, combine honey with water and simmer to dissolve the honey. Then add chopped peaches (with the skin on) and simmer for 10 minutes, mashing the peaches with a fork to release their juices as they cook down. Leaving the skin on provides the gorgeous peachy color! Cool and then strain into a glass jar.

In a large pitcher add the peach-honey syrup, lemon juice and water. Stir and serve over ice. Garnish with sliced peaches and lemon wedges.

Peach Lemonade
Makes: 8 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes plus cooling time 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup honey
- 5 cups water (divided)
- 3 heaping cups chopped peaches, skin on (from 4-5 medium peaches)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 5-6 lemons)
- Sliced peaches and/or lemon wheels, for garnish
Instructions
To make a honey simple syrup, in a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the honey and 1 cup of water. Stir to dissolve the honey, then lower heat to medium.
Add the chopped peaches and bring to a simmer. Simmer the peaches for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing with the back of a wooden spoon to release their juices as they cook down.
Cool. After 10 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature, then strain the mixture through a mesh strainer into a mixing glass.
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled peach honey syrup, lemon juice, and remaining water (4 cups to make 8 drinks). Stir gently to combine. Serve with sliced peaches and lemon wheels over iced filled glasses.
