Equipment

glass pitcher
cocktail shaker or bowl

Ingredients

3 lemons
3 peaches soft and ripe
2 tablespoon agave
2 cups water
1.5 oz whiskey per drink optional

Instructions

Juice all 3 lemons into a glass pitcher
Cut peaches into 1 inch cubes and place them in a metal cocktail shaker or bowl. Mash peaches in batches with a muddler or potato masher until they're a thick pureed consistency
Add the mashed peaches to the lemon juice in the pitcher (use a strainer for a smooth no-pulp consistency)
Add agave and water, then stir
Adjust the lemon, agave, and water to your taste (I like a slightly sweet, slightly tart balance of flavors)
Place ice in 6 cups
If using whiskey, add 1.5 ounces (1 shot) to each drink, pour the lemonade into each glass and stir to combine

Notes

This recipe can be enjoyed as a kid-friendly lemonade or kicked up a notch with your favorite alcohol. I used whiskey, but feel free to add your favorite vodka or tequila.
