White peaches create a slightly sweeter drink.
Add sparkling water for a fizzy version.
Freeze peach slices instead of using ice cubes to prevent dilution.
For extra cobbler flavor, add a splash of vanilla coffee creamer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned peaches?
Yes. Drain the peaches first and reduce the sugar slightly since canned peaches are already sweetened.

Fresh lemon juice is recommended for the best flavor, but bottled lemon juice works in a pinch.
