Description
Sparkling Peach Lemonade is a delightful blend of sweet, juicy peaches and zesty lemons, creating a refreshing drink that dances on your palate. The effervescence from the sparkling water adds a light, bubbly texture, making each sip a burst of summer sunshine.
Ingredients
- Fresh Peaches: 4 ripe, pitted and diced
- Lemon Juice: 1 cup, freshly squeezed
- Sugar: 1/2 cup (adjust to taste)
- Sparkling Water: 4 cups, chilled
- Mint Leaves: a handful, for garnish
- Ice Cubes: as needed
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the diced peaches and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the peach mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove any pulp.
- Add the sugar to the strained juice and stir until fully dissolved.
- Slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water, stirring gently to combine.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling peach lemonade over the ice.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
Notes
- This lemonade can be made ahead of time; just mix the peach and lemon juice and store in the refrigerator. Add sparkling water just before serving to maintain fizz.
- Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days, but the sparkling water may lose its fizz.
- For a lower sugar option, substitute sugar with honey or agave syrup.
