Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe peaches, peeled and chopped (about 10 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (about 4.5 oz; frozen works if thawed)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 large lemons, juiced (about 1/3 cup juice)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or honey for variation)
  • 2 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes (for serving and layering)
  • Optional: Fresh mint leaves
  • Optional: Extra peach slices and raspberries
  • Optional: Lemon wheels

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peach Puree: Peel and chop peaches. Blend with lemon juice and sugar until smooth. Add a splash of water if thick. Taste and adjust sugar if needed.
  2. Make the Raspberry Layer: Blend raspberries, sugar, and water until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds.
  3. Prepare the Lemonade: Juice lemons. In a pitcher, stir together lemon juice, sugar, and cold water until sugar dissolves. Taste and adjust sugar or water as needed.
  4. Layer the Mocktail: Fill each tall glass halfway with ice. Spoon peach puree into the bottom, tilting the glass for a sloped effect. Slowly spoon raspberry puree over the peach layer.
  5. Add Lemonade and Garnish: Pour lemonade gently over fruit layers, using the back of a spoon to float it on top. Garnish with mint, peach slices, raspberries, and lemon wheels.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Hand out straws and let guests swirl their drinks. For parties, make a big batch in a pitcher and layer individually in glasses.

Notes

Chill purees and lemonade before assembling for best layers. Strain raspberry puree for silky texture. Pour slowly and use ice to help separate layers. Purees and lemonade can be made ahead and refrigerated separately for up to 2 days. For a fizzy version, replace half the lemonade with sparkling water. Purees freeze well in ice cube trays for a slushy treat.
