What each ingredient does

Frozen peaches: Provide the main fruit flavor and body, and their sweetness balances the tart juice.
Pineapple juice: Adds liquid for blending and a bright, tropical sweetness.
Lemon or lime juice: Adds acidity that brightens the fruit flavor and keeps it from tasting flat.
Ice cubes: Chill the drink and create a thick, slushy texture when blended.
Ginger ale: Adds carbonation and a light spicy sweetness for a fizzy finish.
