Description
This Strawberry Peach Lemonade pairs sweet juicy strawberries with soft ripe peaches and bright fresh lemon into a smooth, golden-pink lemonade with a mellow, sun-ripened sweetness that tastes like pure summer in every glass. The peach adds a velvety, nectar-like richness that makes this lemonade taste more indulgent than any classic version. You need just ten minutes to make this gorgeous, fruit-forward lemonade.

1 cup ice cubes

Notes
Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the sweetest and most aromatic flavor in this lemonade.
Frozen peach slices work just as well as fresh and give a consistently sweet result year round.
Strain the blended fruit puree thoroughly for the most elegant and smooth lemonade texture.
The warm golden-pink color of this lemonade looks beautiful in clear tall glasses.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days — stir well before serving as separation occurs naturally.
