Sparkling Peach Lemonade is a refreshing drink that’s perfect for your warm weather get togethers and social nights. Crisp, refreshing 7UP is paired with sweet lemonade and peaches and garnished with mint.
Summer is in full swing and nothing screams summer like peaches and lemonade.
When I think of summers growing up I always think of sweet, juicy peaches. I also think of sweet lemonade on a hot day. Today’s recipe for Sparkling Peach Lemonade is the perfect drink to celebrate summer with your friends or family. When I am having a big group over, I always make a pitcher of this Sparkling Peach Lemonade for everyone to enjoy.
This drink is so easy to put together and only requires four simple ingredients: 7UP to create a crisp, refreshing and bubbly drink mixed with sweet lemonade and juicy peaches. My go-to store for this simple drink is my local Giant Eagle. I like to garnish my Sparkling Peach Lemonade with fresh mint that I grow in my garden. If you are looking for a cocktail for your crowd, this easily works – just add vodka and peach schnapps. I will often make two pitchers: a mocktail for those that are under 21 and a cocktail version for the adults. When making the cocktail version, one of my favorite things to do is muddle some of the mint into the drink – similar to what you would do with a mojito.
I am excited to be mixing up this drink with 7UP because 7UP offers versatility that can be enjoyed in many ways, from straight up, mixed in a cocktail, punch, or even in food to create something bigger at your social gatherings and picnics. I am one of those people that loves bubbles in my drinks, and 7UP is the perfect option to have on hand at all times.
Not only does it add those bubbles in to your drinks, it also offers you that crisp, refreshing drink you need on a hot day. You can do a lot with 7UP because it has the right balance of bubbles and a crisp, “milder” taste.
I know as well as anyone that finding time to get together with friends and family can be difficult in our hectic lives but this 7UP® Sparkling Peach Lemonade is the perfect beverage to help you celebrate and enjoy time together. Whether you are enjoying an evening at home with a small group of friends, watching sports, attending a game night, karaoke or picnic, this summer drink is a must.
When I get together with my family and friends, food and drink are always the center of our time together. I think a lot of that stems from my childhood and the fact that any family event involved a delicious spread of food and refreshing drinks. I enjoy sharing the food and drinks I love with others.

We always have 7UP on hand, just for things like this. I LOVE how you added fresh peaches to this bubbly lemonade. Saving this, going to make it this summer!
We do too-it’s great to have on hand this time of year! And yes, peaches and lemonade are a great pairing.
This is the perfect summer drink for a crowd! I love that you can make both a grown-up and mocktail version!

This sounds like a great party drink for a family reunion ((or other big get-together).
