Notes
Adjust sweetness based on how ripe your fruit is — the riper, the sweeter!
Swap in nectarines or plums if peaches/apricots aren’t available.
Add a splash of vodka, gin, or white wine for an adult version.
The fruit puree can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge — just add bubbles when serving.
For a party, double the recipe and serve in a large dispenser with floating fruit slices.
