Frozen Peach Slushie – Better Than Store Drinks

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Freeze Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • Slushie:
  • 3 cups frozen peach slices about 450g
  • 1 cup cold water or coconut water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Garnish:
  • Fresh peach slices
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions
 

  • If using fresh peaches, freeze sliced peaches on a baking sheet for at least 2 hours. Store-bought frozen peaches can go straight into the blender.
  • Add frozen peaches and ice to the blender, then pour in water, lemon juice, honey, and vanilla extract.
  • Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until completely smooth and thick. Scrape down sides if needed and blend again briefly.
  • If too thick, add cold water one tablespoon at a time. If too thin, add more ice and blend again.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey or add more lemon juice for extra tang.
  • Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a fresh peach slice, mint sprig, and lemon wedge. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fully frozen peaches for the best thick, icy texture — partially frozen will give a smoothie consistency
  • Chill glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving to slow the melting
  • Start with less liquid and add more gradually to control thickness
  • A pinch of salt amplifies the natural sweetness of the peaches
  • Serve immediately — slushies separate and melt quickly
  • For adults, add 1½ oz bourbon or peach schnapps per glass before blending
  • Coconut water adds a subtle tropical sweetness instead of plain water
  • To make a large batch ahead, freeze in a shallow dish and scrape with a fork before serving
