Ingredients
8 cups prepared lemonade
4-5 ripe peaches
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves plus extra for garnish
Ice cubes
Fresh lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
Prepare or chill 8 cups of lemonade until very cold.
Wash and pit the peaches, reserving one-quarter of the slices for garnish.
Blend the remaining peaches, mint, and one cup of lemonade until smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve if a clearer consistency is desired.
Combine the peach puree with the remaining lemonade in a large pitcher.
Stir in the reserved peach slices and lemon wheels.
Serve chilled over ice, garnished with additional mint sprigs and fresh peach wedges.
Notes
Use a high-quality blender for the smoothest texture. Adjust the sweetness by incorporating a simple syrup made from sugar and water if your lemonade base is too tart. Store in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours for the best flavor.
