Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ripe fuzzy peaches, pitted and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
  • 2 cups ice cubes

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh mint sprigs
  • Peach slices
  • Sparkling water or club soda, to top

Instructions

  1. Combine Peaches, Water, and Sugar: In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, water, and granulated sugar.
  2. Simmer the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Cook Until Softened: Continue simmering for 10-15 minutes until the peaches are very soft and can be easily mashed, and the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Mash the Peaches: Use a potato masher or back of a spoon to thoroughly mash the peaches in the saucepan.
  5. Strain the Syrup (Optional but Recommended): For a smooth syrup, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined colander into a bowl.
  6. Cool the Syrup: Allow the peach syrup to cool completely. You can speed this by placing the bowl in an ice bath or refrigerating for about 30 minutes.
  7. Combine Syrup, Lime Juice, and Ice: In a blender, combine the cooled syrup, fresh lime juice, and ice cubes.
  8. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and slushy.
  9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the refresher and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more lime juice or syrup as needed.
  10. Add More Ice (If Needed): If the consistency is too thin, add more ice cubes and blend again to desired thickness.
  11. Pour into Glasses: Serve the blended Fuzzy Peach Refresher by pouring into glasses.
  12. Garnish (Optional): Garnish with fresh mint, peach slices, or lime wedges. A sugared rim can add extra elegance.
  13. Top with Sparkling Water (Optional): For a fizzy touch, top each glass with a splash of sparkling water or club soda.
  14. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the refresher right away for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of your peaches and your preference.
  • Straining the syrup creates a smoother texture but is optional.
  • Use ripe fuzzy peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Serve immediately to maintain the fresh, slushy consistency.
  • The sparkling water topping adds a delightful fizz but can be omitted for a still drink.
