Who This Recipe is For

This fruity frozen slush is perfect for:

• Busy parents looking for a quick, healthy-ish treat for the kids

• Anyone trying to beat the heat with a cool, homemade drink

• People avoiding soda who still want a flavorful beverage

• Hosts planning BBQs, pool parties, or summer brunches

• Anyone craving a sweet, tangy fruit combo in drinkable form

And best of all, it’s naturally adaptable—make it sweeter or tarter, spike it for the adults, or freeze it into popsicles for later.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)

• 1 cup peach slices (fresh or frozen)

• 1 cup lemonade (store-bought or homemade)

• ½ cup water

• ¼ cup granulated sugar or honey (optional; adjust to taste)

• 2 cups ice

• Optional garnishes: lemon slices and fresh mint leaves

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• High-speed blender

• Measuring cups

• Citrus juicer (if making homemade lemonade)

• Glasses for serving

• Optional: cocktail umbrellas, reusable straws, or garnish skewers for a fun presentation

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Fruit Mixture

In your blender, combine:

• 1 cup raspberries

• 1 cup peach slices

• 1 cup lemonade

• ½ cup water

If you prefer a sweeter slush, now is the time to add ¼ cup granulated sugar or honey. You can skip it if your lemonade is already sweet or if you’re going for a more tart, fruit-forward flavor.

2. Blend Until Smooth

Blend the fruit and liquid mixture until completely pureed and smooth. If you’re using frozen fruit, it may take a little longer—pulse as needed.

3. Add Ice and Blend Again

Add 2 cups of ice to the blender and blend again until you reach a slushy, frosty texture. This should only take 20–30 seconds with a strong blender.

4. Serve Immediately

Pour the finished slush into chilled glasses. The consistency should be thick enough to scoop with a spoon but smooth enough to sip through a straw.

5. Garnish (Optional)

Garnish with:

• Fresh mint sprigs

• Thin lemon slices or wedges

• A few whole raspberries or peach slices

• A colorful straw or cocktail umbrella for that extra tropical vibe

Pro Tip: For a prettier presentation, freeze fruit slices into ice cubes ahead of time and drop them into each glass.

Flavor Variations & Customizations

Make it Boozy

Hosting an adults-only gathering? Add a splash (1–2 oz) of:

• Vodka

• White rum

• Peach schnapps

• Rosé or sparkling wine for a slushy sangria-style twist

Make it Healthier

• Swap sugar with stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or agave syrup

• Use coconut water instead of plain water for hydration and natural sweetness

• Add a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost—you won’t taste it!

Add More Fruit

Want more flavor complexity? Try blending in:

• Strawberries

• Pineapple

• Mango

• Blueberries

Tips for the Perfect Slush Every Time

• Use frozen fruit if possible for a thicker slush and better texture.

• Start with less sugar and add more to taste—it’s easier to sweeten than to fix an overly sugary drink.

• Chill your lemonade before blending to keep the final drink colder for longer.

• If your blender struggles with ice, crush it slightly first or use smaller cubes.

Storage & Leftovers

Can You Save Leftover Slush?

Slushies are best enjoyed immediately. However, if you happen to have leftovers:

• Pour into ice cube trays and freeze.

• Blend the cubes later with a splash of lemonade to re-slush!

• You can also pour into popsicle molds and freeze for a fun summer treat.

Perfect Pairings

This Raspberry Peach Lemonade Slush is great on its own but pairs beautifully with:

• Summer BBQ favorites like grilled chicken, burgers, or veggie skewers

• Picnic fare such as pasta salad, wraps, and fruit platters

• Brunch dishes like quiche, waffles, or breakfast burritos

• Light desserts like shortbread cookies or lemon bars

For a themed party, serve with matching raspberry or peach-flavored desserts—bonus points if they’re chilled!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh lemonade?
A: You can, but it may be too tart. If using bottled juice, mix it with water and sweetener to make your own quick lemonade base.

Q: Can I make this slush ahead of time?
A: It’s best served immediately. However, you can blend the fruit + lemonade mixture in advance and freeze it in cubes. When ready to serve, blend the cubes with ice.

Q: How do I make it less sweet?
A: Skip the sugar or honey and use unsweetened lemonade. Frozen raspberries and peaches are naturally tangy-sweet on their own.

Q: Can I make this slush without a blender?
A: Not really. A blender is essential for breaking down the fruit and ice into that signature slushy texture.

Q: Can I use other fruits?
A: Absolutely! Try strawberries, blackberries, mango, or even watermelon.
