Print Recipe

A refreshing and easy-to-make sparkling peach lemonade mocktail that combines the tartness of fresh lemon with the sweetness of ripe peaches and bubbly sparkling water. Perfect for summer afternoons or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3–4 lemons)
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) filtered water
  • 3 cups (720 ml) chilled sparkling water
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Fresh mint leaves, a handful for garnish (optional)
  • Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 2 ripe peaches. Blend them in a blender until smooth but still a bit pulpy, about 2-3 minutes. Add a teaspoon of water if peaches are not very ripe.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup sugar (or honey) and 1/2 cup water. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves completely, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Juice 3 to 4 lemons to yield 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice. Strain out seeds.
  4. In a large pitcher, mix the peach puree, lemon juice, and cooled sugar syrup. Stir well to combine.
  5. Pour in 3 cups chilled sparkling water. Stir gently to mix without losing fizz. Adjust sweetness or lemon juice to taste.
  6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling peach lemonade over. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices.

Notes

Use fresh lemons for best flavor. Dissolve sugar fully by making a syrup to avoid graininess. Add sparkling water last and stir gently to preserve fizz. Peach puree and lemon syrup can be made ahead and stored separately in the fridge for up to 2 days. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable. For lower sugar, substitute sugar with stevia or monk fruit carefully. Variations include adding fresh basil or rosemary, or making a frozen slush version.
