Peach Nectar Drink Recipes

How to make peach juice and peach nectar in a juicer or blender! It’s simple yet sweet, refreshing, and packed with flavor!

As we inch closer to warmer weather, I find myself continuously tempted by refreshing summery flavors. Having already shared recipes for mango juice and pineapple juice, it’s time to share how to make peach juice (and peach nectar juice!).

Peach juice is wonderfully sweet, refreshing, and super simple to make. I’ve included two heat-free methods for 100% peach juice, using a blender (with or without the pulp) and how to juice a peach in a juicer. I’ve also included how to make peach nectar juice with peaches, water, sweetener, and lemon or lime juice.

With no preservatives and 100% control of the ingredients, you’ll love the results of this fresh juice better than any store-bought version. Enjoy the juice immediately, store it in the fridge for a day or two, or even transfer it to the freezer for several months!

Whereas fresh peach juice is simply 100% peaches (sometimes with water), peach nectar is a combination of peach, a sweetener, and often an acid. Within this post, I’ll take you through how to make both.

You can access in-season peaches almost year-round in the US as there are so many varieties available from different regions. However, the typical peach season is between May-September. In the UK, peach season is between July-September.

It’s best to buy them slightly under-ripe as they will continue to ripen on your kitchen counter. If ripe, it’s best to store them in the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process.

You might also enjoy adding in or serving the fresh peach juice recipe with some mint leaves, a small amount of ginger, or a pinch of cinnamon. Chia seeds will help to make an even more nutritious drink, too.

It’s simple to use peach juice to make a simple juice blend. Use the juicer or swap out the water typically used in the blender method with another type of fruit juice. A few of my favorite recommendations include:

As this method relies on water to help with the blending process, this juice is naturally diluted and won’t be as sweet or flavorful as the juicer version.

You can also follow this method by placing the peaches and water in a large jug and using an immersion blender. Though it won’t be as smooth.

Follow either of the methods above to make the peach juice recipe. Then, add your sweetener of choice and the acid to taste.

I recommend starting with just ½ tablespoon of sugar per cup of juice and a squeeze of lime (maybe ½-1 tsp). Then increase to taste.

Store: peach juice is best enjoyed immediately for optimal nutrients and freshness. However, you can store it in a covered bottle or mason jar in the fridge for 1-2 days.

With the addition of sugar and acid, which are natural preservatives, the peach nectar will last slightly longer (2-3 days). Note that without the acid, peaches naturally oxidize.

Freeze: you can freeze the peach juice either in XL ice cube trays or within freezer-safe jars or Ziplock bags. I like to separate mine into single-cup portions. Freeze for 3 months. Allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before consuming or blend from frozen with a bit of liquid for a simple peach slushy.

I can imagine that would work if you allow them to fully thaw first. Alternatively, frozen peaches could be blended with a small amount of liquid to make an instant peach slushy.

Peach Juice Recipe

It’s not necessary for the juicer method or blender method when straining. However, if you’re using a blender and not planning to strain the juice, you can do so if preferred.

To peel a large number of peaches with minimal effort: score the bottom with X’s and blanch them in boiling water for 45 seconds. Then place them in an ice bath and peel.

There are several ways to avoid discarding the pits/stones. These include making a peach pit syrup or vinegar. You could also use it to grow a peach tree or grind it as an exfoliator or for several other uses. Let me know in the comments how you use them.

Peach Wine Spritzer

My favorite way to use fruit pulp is to add extra fiber and nutrients to smoothies. You could also add it to baked goods like muffins or quick bread recipes.

You can experiment with reducing it, yes. However, I wouldn’t remove too much as it will make for a much lower juice yield when straining and thicker juice when not. But you can adjust the amount to personal preference.

This method is one I usually avoid, as I don’t like to use heat when making fresh fruit juices. However, if you want peach juice with a slightly longer shelf life that doesn’t oxidize as quickly, this method will work.

Allow it to chill and enjoy over 4-5 days in an airtight jar in the refrigerator or 4-6 months in the freezer. You may also be able to water bath can this peach juice, though it’s best to refer to the USDA guidelines for more information.

Peach juice can be beneficial for relieving constipation due to its high fiber content and natural laxative properties. It helps soften the stool and promotes regular bowel movements. However, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding your specific situation.

Peach juice offers several potential benefits. It is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as antioxidants. These nutrients can support healthy skin, boost the immune system, and promote eye health. Peach juice also contains dietary fiber, which aids digestion and supports bowel regularity. Additionally, its natural sweetness makes it a refreshing and flavorful alternative to sugary beverages. Remember to enjoy peach juice in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
