Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) simple syrup
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vodka
- 2 cups (480 ml) ice cubes
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients (5 minutes): Pit and slice about 3 cups of fresh peaches if using fresh. Juice enough lemons to get 1/2 cup (about 3-4 lemons). Make simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over medium heat, then cool.
- Blend Base (2-3 minutes): Add peaches, lemon juice, simple syrup, water, and ice cubes to the blender. Pulse a few times to break down ice, then blend on high until smooth but still slushy.
- Add Vodka (30 seconds): Pour in 1/2 cup vodka, then pulse the blender a couple more times to mix without melting the slush too much.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture. If too tart, add more simple syrup or sugar and pulse again. If too thick, add a splash of water or lemon juice to loosen.
- Serve Immediately: Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with fresh mint if desired, and enjoy right away for the best slushy texture.
Notes
Add vodka after blending to maintain icy slush texture. Use frozen peaches for faster chilling and better texture. Adjust sweetness after blending. Keep blender jug cold to prevent ice melting. Work in batches for large quantities.
