This isn’t just any lemonade; it’s my personal favorite, combining all the best flavors of summer. Whether you’re hosting a summer party, want something to turn into a cocktail, or just want a pretty and summery treat, you’ll love this recipe. All you need to do is make a fruit syrup and mix it with water and lemon juice.
This lemonade is one of those super-summery recipes. It begs to be served on a porch on the hottest days of summer. Of course it’s delicious, but one of the best things about it is is the beautiful coral-pink color. Be sure to to serve it in a clear pitcher so everyone can ooh and ahh.

For the Peach Raspberry Syrup
- 1 cup sliced peaches about 2 medium peaches
- 1 cup raspberries fresh or frozen

- 1 cup water

How to Make Raspberry Peach Lemonade
Step One: Make The Syrup
Toss the peaches, raspberries, sugar, and water into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Turn it down to a simmer and let it bubble away for 7-10 minutes until those raspberries fall apart and your peaches get nice and soft.
Step Two: Strain And Chill
Now grab a mesh strainer and strain out all those fruit bits. Use a wooden spoon to press gently and get every drop of the syrup out. Don’t go crazy with the pressing though – nobody wants chunky lemonade!
Step Three: Assemble
Pour that beautiful syrup into your pitcher, add the lemon juice and water, and give it a good stir.
Step Four: Serve
Pour it over ice and make it pretty with some extra berries, lemon slices, and fresh mint.
Serving & Storing
Serve with an easy dinner of marinated grilled chicken, pasta salad, and ice cream!
Keep the lemonade in a pitcher, covered with plastic wrap.
If you’d like to make the syrup beforehand and freeze it, you can mix it with the lemon juice and water the morning you want to serve it.
Answering Your Questions
You can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe or substitute it with a sweetener like Stevia. Taste as you go to achieve your desired sweetness.
Fresh has a much brighter flavor, but it’s expensive and a hassle. Up to you. I usually juice whatever lemons we have on hand and make up the difference with bottled.
