Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups sparkling water
- Ice, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Start by washing and pitting the peaches. Slice them into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the sliced peaches, fresh basil, lemon juice, and sugar. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree.
- Strain the Mixture (Optional): If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher, discarding any solids.
- Add Sparkling Water: Slowly pour in the sparkling water to the pitcher, gently stirring to combine without losing too much fizz.
- Taste and Adjust: Give it a taste! If you’d like it sweeter, feel free to add more sugar or adjust the lemon juice for extra zing.
- Serve: Fill glasses with ice and pour the Peach Basil Lemonade Fizz over. Garnish with extra basil leaves and peach slices for a pretty touch.
Notes
For a boozy version, add a splash of vodka or gin. You can also substitute peaches with other fruits like strawberries or raspberries.
