Ingredients You’ll Need for Peach Punch Slush:
- 12 oz. can frozen concentrate peach punch
- 2 cups water
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 frozen large bananas, cut into 4 pieces each
- Ice cubes (about 24) — roughly 4 cups
- 1/2 cup grenadine syrup
- Orange slices and maraschino cherries, for garnish (optional)
Step by Step Instructions
- Combine the peach concentrate, water, lemon juice, and frozen banana pieces in a blender. Process for about 30 seconds until smooth, then remove half of the mixture and set it aside.
- Add half of the ice cubes through the blender lid and process, adding the cubes one at a time and blending until smooth. Pour this blended slush into a large pitcher. Repeat with the remaining peach mixture and ice, then add it to the pitcher and gently stir to combine.
- Pour a small amount of grenadine into the bottom of each glass (adjust to taste; about 2–4 teaspoons depending on glass size). Fill the glasses about three-quarters full with the peach slush. Gently stir the slush near the bottom so the grenadine rises slightly to create a sunrise appearance with a pretty layered effect.
- Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry on a wooden pick if desired, and serve immediately while slushy and cold.
Serving Tips and Variations
This peach punch is naturally kid-friendly and festive, but it’s also easy to adapt. For an adult version, add a splash of light rum, vodka, or sparkling prosecco to individual cups just before serving. If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the grenadine or increase the lemon juice by a teaspoon or two.
Try different garnishes to match your event—lime wheels, fresh peach slices, or a sprig of mint add color and aroma. For a more textured drink, blend in a few fresh peach chunks or swap one banana for frozen peaches to deepen the peach flavor.
Make-Ahead and Storage
Because the punch is best enjoyed slushy, it’s easiest to prepare the fruit-and-concentrate mixture up to a day in advance and keep it frozen in a sealed container. When guests arrive, blend with ice and assemble the layered glasses. Leftovers can be stored in the freezer; allow them to soften slightly before re-blending to restore the slushy texture.
