Favorite Lemonades for Summer: Peachy, Fizzy & Full of Sunshine 🍋☀️
There’s just something magical about lemonade in the summer, isn’t there? The tart-sweet zing, the icy chill, and the way a single sip feels like sunshine in a glass. Whether it’s a cozy afternoon on the porch or a bustling lemonade stand run by sticky little hands, we’ve got a few favorite lemonade recipes that bring the sweet sparkle to summer days. Let’s dive into our favorite lemonades for summer—including a frozen peach version we can’t stop making, a creamy frozen treat, and a fizzy party drink that feels straight out of a celebration.
Favorite Peach Lemonade
Of all the frozen drinks we’ve made, this Frozen Peach Lemonade is hands-down a family favorite. It’s fruity, refreshing, and perfectly tart thanks to the lemonade. The texture is smooth and icy—perfect for hot summer days. Bonus? It reminds me so much of my kids’ lemonade stand days, selling gallon after gallon with big smiles and bigger dreams.
Ingredients:
3 ripe peaches, pitted and chopped
12 oz frozen lemonade concentrate
24 oz cold water
What You’ll Need:
Festive Extras:
Drink skewers or drink umbrellas for peach slices or lemon garnishes
Just blend everything up until smooth, pour into glasses, and pop in a straw. You’ll have a summer sip that feels like a treat from your favorite beachside café!
Directions:
Blend it up!
Chop your peaches and toss them into a blender. Add the frozen lemonade and water. You can also swap in a homemade lemonade recipe if you have one you love. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Freeze into a dreamy slush.
Pour the peachy mixture into a glass baking dish (9×13 works well). Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for about 4 hours, or until it reaches that perfect slushy consistency.
Time to serve!
Use a fork to fluff and mash the frozen mixture into a slush. Spoon it into glasses and get ready to impress!
Add a little magic.
Garnish with lemon slices, fresh peach wedges, or even berries. A sprig of mint adds the prettiest pop of green—and tastes amazing. For a grown-up twist, feel free to spike it for an easy summer cocktail!
Frosty Lemonade
If creamy and dreamy is your thing, this Frosty Lemonade will be your new best friend. The combination of lemon and vanilla ice cream is nostalgic, like an old-fashioned soda shop treat. It’s SO good, you’ll be sneaking sips between handing them out.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups cold water
6 cups vanilla ice cream
Lemon slices for garnish
Directions:
Stir lemon juice and sugar in a pitcher until dissolved. Add water and chill.
In a blender, mix lemonade with ice cream until smooth.

It’s like lemonade met a milkshake—and they became summer soulmates.
