This fresh sweet and sour lemonade zipped up with delicate pink white peaches and spicy fresno chile- it is amazing all on it’s own or for the grownups I highly suggest a solid glug a vodka as an addition!
Being a Seattle girl, I have always known how lucky we were to have gorgeous Washington State fruit at our fingertips. In the fall it’s all about apples and in the summer it is stone fruit that charms our taste buds and fills our table.
Everything from cherries and apricots in early summer, and now the peaches and nectarines are my absolute passion! I had a big batch of white peaches right when they hit the stores and the smell of the gorgeous ripe fruit was enough to get me so inspired and I hopped into the kitchen with Coco to make a special drink that is kid and adult friendly!
The result was this beautiful Spicy White Peach Lemonade.
Juicy sweet white peaches and fresh spicy red chili bring a whole new life to old fashioned homemade lemonade. Sweet, sour and a subtle spiciness is the most delicious and exciting way to enjoy summer sipping!
Coco and Pia loved this as-is, but personally, I like a little glug of Vodka with mine to make a delicious Summer cocktail! You will surprise and delight friends and family with this incredible combination- have fun and enjoy! Thanks Inspo for the gorgeous Video!

And p.s. it’s National Lemonade Day today! Not sure if you planned it, but your timing is totally perfect!
There are so many amazing chiles in my farmer’s market right now, I can’t wait to grab some and try this. I wouldn’t even miss the booze in a such a glorious drink!
Thanks Sue- then again- you could always add some booze! Vodka would be amazing 🙂
Really cool recipe! Having a bum toe is not slowing you down one bit!
Thank you os much Kelley! I am trying 🙂
Just wow!
Such a pretty drink! Love it!
This looks insanely delish!! I’m so jealous that you get to live up in the PNW with all that amazing produce 🙂
I could definitely get behind a huge pitcher of this! Love the idea of adding hot chile pepper for a subtle kick.
Really nice flavors in this cocktail Heather!

Thank you Katrina!
What a fun recipe! Going to make it this afternoon….with vodka 🙂
I don’t blame you Bri- I would like to be doing the same!
Wow. This looks amazing! Perfect for the summer!
Looks amazing! Question: is this a “pulpy-thick” consistency? In your pictures, the drink looks light and thin but reading the recipe, it sounds like it might be thick. Did you strain the puree?
I have a really serious blender Michelle, so it would have rally pureed everything. I am sure there is a little pulp, but it would have settled towards the bottom. Not thick. you could strain if your blender isn’t hard core?
Looks and sounds yummy. Can`t wait to try it!!
Spicy lemonade?? I’m SO in!
Loved this peach lemonade with the kick of the red chile. So delicious. You have the best recipes ever!
