Method
Fruit Purees & Syrups
Blend/Prepare Purees
If using fresh fruit, peel and chop 1 medium ripe mango, 6–8 strawberries, and 1 large peach. Pulse each fruit separately in a blender until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve for a silky texture (optional). Measure out 1 cup mango puree, 1/2 cup strawberry puree, and 1/2 cup peach puree.
If using store-bought or thawed frozen purees, stir them to recombine, then measure the quantities above. Adjust texture by straining if needed.
Sweeten
Stir 2 tablespoons simple syrup into the blended fruit mixture. Taste and add up to 1 tablespoon more if you prefer sweeter. Add a pinch (about 1/4 tsp) of salt to brighten the fruit flavors and stir to combine.
Liquid Base
In a large pitcher, combine 2 cups cold water (or sparkling water for a fizzy refill) and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Stir gently.
Add the fruit + syrup mixture to the pitcher. Whisk or stir vigorously until the purees are fully incorporated into the liquid base, creating a smooth, drinkable consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add up to 1/2 cup additional water and stir to adjust.
Optional Enhancers
For a lightly muddled mint aroma, bruise 4 mint leaves by clapping them between your palms or gently muddling in the bottom of the pitcher before adding the fruit mixture. Reserve a sprig for garnish.
Fill glasses with ice (about 1/2 cup per 12-oz serving). Pour the Mango | Strawberry Peach refill over ice. Garnish with a mint sprig or a thin peach slice if desired.
Taste and adjust: add more simple syrup for sweetness, more lemon for brightness, or more water/sparkling water to thin and increase volume. Serve immediately. Store any leftover refill in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours; stir before serving as separation may occur.
