My Summer Quencher: Homemade Peach Lemonade

Two years ago, my husband and I brought home a little peach tree from Costco. Every spring, it rewards me with the prettiest pink blossoms, and by summer, it blesses us with an abundance of juicy, sweet peaches. Aside from enjoying them fresh (which is heavenly—just ask the birds 😊), I always use them to make our favorite refreshing summer drink: Peach Lemonade.

I’ve been ordering peach lemonade from juice bars for years, but there’s something magical about re-creating one of my favorite drinks right at home—especially when the peaches come from my own beloved tree. This year, before the birds, bees, and ants claimed their share, I made sure to gather a good basket for myself.

So, here it is—my easy, tried-and-true homemade peach lemonade recipe. I hope you’ll give it a try and make it your own summer favorite too.
