Ingredients and substitutions
- Frozen peaches - Can be substituted with any frozen fruits for a different flavor. Try using pineapple (like in my pineapple rum slush recipe), strawberries, or mixed berries. If your frozen peaches are out of season and less sweet, you may want to add a splash of simple syrup to the blender as well.
- Ginger ale - Can be substituted with ginger beer for a stronger ginger flavor- several readers have tried this with success!
- Vodka - Can be substituted with rum.
How to make ginger peach vodka slush
- Add your ingredients to the bowl of a blender.
- Blend until smooth. Add more ginger ale as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Tips and tricks
Mixture too thick? - Is your blender having a hard time mixing the ingredients together? Add an extra splash or two of ginger ale to thin the mixture slightly.
Variations - Frozen peaches can be substituted with other frozen fruits, like strawberries, mixed berries, pineapple, or mangoes. Vodka can be substituted with rum (spiced or clear).
Garnishes - Add a peach slice, orange slice, colorful sugar rim, or add a striped paper straw before serving.
Frequently asked questions
Yes! Omit the vodka and add more ginger ale instead.
No, adding fresh fruit rather than frozen fruit will create a much thinner consistency, more like a juice than a slushie. If you have fresh peaches on hand, the slices can be frozen on a parchment-lined sheet pan before assembling your cocktails.
Replace some of the peaches with ice. All of the sweetness comes from the frozen peaches. If they're particularly sweet, they'll make a sweet drink.
If your peaches are out of season, you may need to add 1-2 teaspoons of simple syrup to the blender.

i just tried it now-with ginger beer 2 cups fresh peaches-4 oz vodka- and TWO cups of ice-its delicious-the sliced peaches are in the freezer now with a tray of strawberries -ready for tomorrow's cocktail hour-thanks for this great recipe-
Sounds great Richard! Glad you enjoyed it.
how about ginger beer and FRESH peaches???-i just got a huge amount of fresh South Carolina peaches-i think i could add extra ice
Hi Richard, ginger beer would work instead of ginger ale. I haven't tried this recipe with fresh peaches, but if you give it a try let us know how it goes!
You can also try laying your sliced peaches out on a parchment lined sheet pan and freezing them.
Would ginger beer also work?
I haven't tried it but it should work just fine. If you try it, let me know how it goes!
