Ingredients

Let’s get you all set to make this tropical treat!

For the Iced Peach Colada:

• Frozen Peaches: These are the secret to the cold, refreshing texture of your drink. If you don’t have frozen peaches, fresh ones will work, but you might want to add a few ice cubes.
• Coconut Milk: This gives the drink its rich, creamy texture and tropical flavor. You can use full-fat coconut milk for a richer taste or light coconut milk if you want something a bit lighter.
• Pineapple Juice: This adds the classic tropical flair that perfectly complements the peaches and coconut. Fresh pineapple juice will be amazing, but store-bought works just fine.
• Ice: For that icy, slushy texture that makes every sip a cool refreshment.
• Optional Sweetener: If you like your drinks a little sweeter, feel free to add a touch of honey, agave syrup, or simple syrup to taste.
• Coconut Shavings (Optional): For that extra coconutty touch, sprinkle some coconut flakes on top as a garnish.

FAQ Section

Q1: Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
A1: Yes! You can use fresh peaches, but you might need to add more ice or chill the drink before serving to achieve that frosty, icy texture.

Q2: Can I make this ahead of time?
A2: It’s best to make it fresh since the ice will melt, but you can blend everything together and store it in the freezer for a little while before serving. Just be sure to give it a quick stir before serving.

Q3: Can I add alcohol to this drink?
A3: Absolutely! A splash of rum or vodka would make this a delightful adult beverage. Just blend it in with the rest of the ingredients for a tropical cocktail!

Q4: Can I use other fruits?
A4: Of course! Mango, pineapple, or even strawberries would make great substitutes or additions to the peaches for a unique twist on this drink.

Q5: Can I use a different type of milk?
A5: Yes, you can swap coconut milk for almond milk, oat milk, or regular dairy milk, but it will alter the flavor and creaminess. Coconut milk gives it the signature tropical vibe, though!

Q6: How can I make it sweeter?
A6: If you like your drinks on the sweeter side, you can add honey, agave syrup, or simple syrup to taste. Start with a small amount, blend, and taste test.

Q10: How long will this last in the fridge?
