Hot outside? Make Peach Lemonade Spritzer (for two), a family-friendly cold drink with pink lemonade, fresh peaches and lime sparkling water!
It’s 100°F. outside today as I sit at my desk writing this blog post. UGH. Even for Oregon, that is a bit too hot… ha ha! When it’s this hot I want lots of icy cold drinks, and today I want to share a delicious family-friend drink I created that I’m sure you’ll enjoy!
A Peach Lemonade Spritzer is so easy to make, and it is icy cold, peachy and refreshing on a HOT day! With only a blender (or food processor), 3 main ingredients PLUS ice cubes, you can make this drink easily in about 5 minutes or less!
A combination of pink lemonade and fresh peaches provide the bulk of the flavor of this refreshing, non-alcoholic drink. Lime sparkling water provides extra flavor and loads of carbonation and bubbles, as an added feature. Here’s how to make a Peach Lemonade Spritzer (for two).

Making The Peach Lemonade Mixture
When I make the peach lemonade spritzer (for two), it’s usually throughout the summer so I use a LARGE, fresh ripe peach (for 2 servings).
You can certainly use frozen peaches for this but you’d have to estimate the amount to be the size of a whole large peach, for best flavor! Toss the frozen peaches directly into the blender and blend away!
Place ¾ a cup of pink lemonade into a blender (or food processor) and then add a large peeled, pitted and chopped fresh peach into the liquid.
Place the lid on the blender, then blend the chopped peaches and the pink lemonade on High speed until the mixture becomes smooth (no peach chunks present). This usually takes only a minute or so to fully blend these two ingredients.
Can I Make This Ahead Of Time?
If you want to double or triple the recipe ahead of when you will be using it, simply cover the blender or transfer the blended mixture to a covered container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days TIP: Don’t add the sparkling water if storing it in the refrigerator or it will go flat!
When you’re ready to make a peach lemonade spritzer later, put the ice in glasses, pour the cold peach lemonade mix into the glass and then add the sparkling water at that time. EASY!
Finish Making The Peach Lemonade Spritzer
Add lots of ice cubes to the glass you will be using for each peach lemonade spritzer. I typically use a standard 8 oz. juice glass per serving, but if I want the spritzers to look a bit more “fancy”, I use a nice cocktail glass.
Fill the glass of ice about ¾ full using the blended peach and lemonade mixture, leaving room for the sparkling water to be added to top it off.
Top Off the Glass With Sparkling Water
Pop open a can of cold sparkling water to finish filling the glass. NOTE: Any sparkling water will do, but love the added flavor I get when I use a can of LIME sparkling water!
Because the sparkling water is not sweetened, be careful not to use more of it than the amount of peach lemonade mixture in the glass. The ratio I use is about two-thirds peach and lemonade mixture to about one-third sparkling water in an 8 oz. glass.
You want the sweet taste of ripe peaches and tangy pink lemonade to be featured, front and center. The sparkling water is there for the party; those bubbles are there to make it a true bubbly “spritzer”.
You can serve the peach lemonade spritzer as is, or you might want to garnish it with fresh fruit on a skewer (shown below), a peach slice or a lemon wedge!
Whatever you’d like for the garnish is how you should do it! Jeepers, maybe you even have your own private stash of those cute little drink umbrellas you could use… just sayin’.
Maybe you will have the chance to try a refreshing peach lemonade spritzer, because it is so yummy! I hope you (and those you love) will really like it, too!
Thank you for stopping by today, and I invite you to come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you, and have a WONDERFUL day!

Hot outside? Make Peach Lemonade Spritzer (for two), a family-friendly cold drink with pink lemonade, fresh peaches and lime sparkling water!
- 1 large peach peeled, pitted, chopped
- ¾ cup pink lemonade already prepared
- 6 ounces sparkling water (lime flavor preferred)
- ice cubes
Place pink lemonade and a large, chopped (peeled) peach into a blender.
Put lid on blender; blend on High speed until mixture is smooth and no peach chunks are present (1-2 minutes).
Fill two 8 oz. glasses (or cocktail glasses) with ice cubes. Fill glasses about ¾ full with peach/lemonade mixture, leaving room for sparkling water to top it off.
Pour sparkling water into the glass to finish filling it. NOTE: Any sparkling water will do, but a can of LIME sparkling water adds even more flavor. Sparkling water is not sweetened, so don't use more of it than the amount of peach lemonade mixture in the glass. I use about ⅔ peach/lemonade mixture and about ⅓ sparkling water in an 8 oz. glass. You want the sweet taste of ripe peaches and tangy pink lemonade to be front and center.
Serve the peach lemonade spritzer as is, or garnish it with fresh fruit on a skewer, a peach slice or a lemon wedge! Serve cold and enjoy!
