Ingredients

  • 4 ripe Georgia peaches
  • 2 lb fresh lemons
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 cup sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Preheat gas grill to medium-high heat.
  • 2
    Wash peaches. Cut them in half, remove pits, then cut in half again (so each peach is quartered).
  • 3
    In a medium bowl, add peaches, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir well to coat peaches and set aside.
  • 4
    Wash lemons and cut in half. Juice the lemons so that you have about 2 cups of lemon juice. Pour lemon juice into a large pitcher and add 6 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar. Stir to combine and dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
  • 5
    Place the peach quarters skin-side down on the hot grill and cook for 3 minutes. Using a tongs, turn the peaches and grill another 3 minutes. Remove peaches from grill.
  • 6
    Skin peaches and blend in a blender (or use a food mill) to grind to a smooth pulp. Add the pulp to the lemonade mixture and stir to combine.
  • 7
    Serve in tall glasses over ice, or chill in the refrigerator until serving. Garnish with mint leaves, sliced peaches or lemons or other fruit.

More About This Recipe

  • I was in Atlanta last month for a food conference and got so many awesome ideas! The goodies at the convention were great, but some of my most delish moments were out on the town seeing what was up with the local food vibe. I learned that every single street in Atlanta is named Peachtree. So, with all those peach trees begging to inspire, I had to find some peach treats. I grabbed my local pals and headed to an Atlanta eatery, where I had the most amazing Grilled Georgia Peach Lemonade. By the time I was done with my glassful, I kinda started understanding about the Peachtree Street thing. I tried to recreate that Grilled Georgia Peach Lemonade back here in Minnesota and wanted to share my version with you. Serve in tall glasses punched up with a mint leaf, peach or lemon slice, raspberries or anything else you can think of. It's about the closest thing to Peachtree Street outside of Atlanta! More Fun with Peach Lemonade Make your summer lemonade drinks rock with Grilled Georgia Peach Lemonade! Some ideas:
  • Arnie Palmer: Fill a Collins glass half with Grilled Georgia Peach Lemonade and half with iced tea. (Add 2 oz. vodka if you want to shake it up a bit!) Lemon-Peach Punch: Add equal amounts of Grilled Georgia Peach Lemonade and sparkling water (or Ginger Ale, Sprite or any clear bubbly) to a glass or punch bowl. Serve immediately so you don't lose the bubbles! Peachy Freezies: Freeze the Grilled Georgia Peach Lemonade. Add frozen lemonade and ice cubes to a blender. Blend until slushy. Serve with peach slices on the rims of the glasses. Add vodka to taste, if desired.
