This ginger peach limeade combines sweet peaches with tart lime juice and spicy ginger. A refreshing summer beverage!
Peach season runs all through summer, beginning around May and lasting until mid-September.
When you’ve got more fresh peaches than you know what to do with, it’s time to make some peach limeade!
This quick and easy ginger peach limeade is such a thirst quenching and refreshing summer drink.
Fresh Peach Limeade
Homemade limeades and lemonades are easier than you think!
All you need is a blender and strainer.
I love how balanced this drink is. No one flavor dominates. Even the often assertive ginger is mellowed out the sweet peaches and the tart lime.
With this summertime beverage in hand, I don’t mind being stuck indoors. I think I’ve drunk enough water, tea, and limeade to keep me hydrated all summer.
Ingredients
Five ingredients stand between you and this summer limeade! You’ll need:
- Ripe peaches
- Lime juice
- Ginger root
- Granulated sugar
- Water
If fresh peaches are unavailable, you may use canned peaches. However, you will have to adjust the amount of simple syrup (sugar-water mixture). Frozen peaches also work well. Alternatively, you may sub in apricots, nectarines, or plums.
Use fresh squeezed lime juice for the best flavor. Stay away bottled juice or concentrate. This recipe also tastes great with fresh lemon juice.
Fresh ginger has a bright, slightly sweet, slightly spicy flavor. Do not use ginger powder or dried ginger root. That version is far more concentrated in flavor and taste very earthy compared to fresh ginger.

The fun, bright colors of this limeade screams summer vacation!
Since lemonades and limeades are so easy to make, I like to keep a pitcher in the fridge at all times. Whenever I’m feeling stressed or bogged down from work, a sip of this stuff makes me feel better.
And if you are looking to party, this ginger peach limeade would be an excellent mixer to vodka, rum, even whiskey. Even better, use this limeade to make ginger peach cooler!

I can’t get over this!! LOVE it! Thank goodness limes are 10 for a dollar around these parts now instead of 1 for 86 CENTS like it was a couple months ago. I’m sorry you’re sick…but can I have your ginger tea recipe? :) Pinned!
Thanks Karen! Seriously, I can’t justify paying almost a dollar for one lime! No “real” recipe for the ginger tea. Peel about 1 inch of ginger and slice into chunks. Place in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Let steep for 5-10 minutes depending on how gingery you want it. Then add honey. That easy! :)
