Notes
Use ripe, fragrant peaches and mango for the best flavor.
For a thicker, granita style slush, freeze the blended mixture for 1 to 2 hours, then scrape with a fork.
If your fruit is very sweet, cut the simple syrup down to 2 teaspoons; if you like it tarter, add an extra squeeze of lemon juice.
Leftovers can be frozen in a covered container for up to 1 month; thaw slightly and stir before serving.
To make a quick simple syrup, stir 1 tablespoon sugar into 1 tablespoon warm water until dissolved, then cool.
Garnish each glass with a lemon wheel or fresh mint, and serve with a wide straw.
