🥭 Tell it what you have and how ripe each piece is. Say what you want to drink — how sweet 🍯 how sharp 🍋 how thick 🥤 and how much of it. Fruit Cocatil then works out the gram-by-gram formula that gets closest with your fruit, at today's ripeness, and explains exactly how it got there.
📏 Not a recipe list. A measuring instrument for the jug.
🍎 YOUR FRUIT, ACTUALLY MEASURED
➕ Add what you have: the fruit 🍑 its whole weight and where it's sitting 🪟 counter ❄️ cold room 🧺 crisper or 🧊 fridge. Then rate the three things you can judge by hand: firmness 🎨 colour stage and 🌸 aroma.
📊 From that, Fruit Cocatil works out a maturity index from 0 to 100 and adjusts that fruit's real composition to match, its sugar (°Brix) 🍬 its acidity 🍋 its Brix:acid balance, pH, body and pectin. A rock-firm pear 🍐 and a spotted one are not the same ingredient and your recipe shouldn't pretend they are.
📅 Each item also gets a 14-day ripening curve, computed from its ripening class 🌡️ its storage temperature and the ethylene given off by whatever is sitting next to it 🍌➡️🍑 You can see the day its peak window opens, the day its prime ends and why the bananas on the counter are pushing your peaches along.
🟢 Everything groups into Use now 🟡 Soon and 🔵 Fresh so what needs using is never a guess.
🧪 THE SOLVER
🥝 Pick 2 to 8 ingredients and a batch size from 50 g to 3000 g. Set three targets:
🍯 Sweetness — target Brix, 5 to 24
⚖️ Balance — target Brix:acid ratio, 6 to 40
🥤 Body — 5 to 90, from pourable juice to spoonable purée
🥭 Or start from a style: ✨ Bright Juice 🥤 Balanced Smoothie 🍮 Dessert Thick or 💧 Low-Sweet Refresher.
🎯 Mark which targets matter most. Cap an ingredient's share, set a minimum or lock one to an exact percentage ⏳ Switch on use up what's turning first and the answer will lean on the fruit closest to the end of its prime.
📋 EVERY ANSWER EXPLAINS ITSELF
🔍 You never get a bare number. Each result carries:
📐 The formula — grams and share per ingredient, whole-fruit weight, and what's left afterwards.
🎯 Achieved vs target — every difference clearly shown.
🥤 The predicted drink — acidity, pH, volume, trim waste and even a 🎨 colour swatch.
🍎 Drivers — which fruit brings sweetness, acidity and body.
⚠️ Limits — what prevented a closer match, with one-tap fixes.
📈 Sensitivity — see what adding 50 g of any fruit changes.
🔄 Same fruit, same targets, same answer, every time.
💾 SAVE IT, COMPARE IT, MAKE IT
📂 Save any result as a formula. ✏️ Rename it 📏 scale the batch or ✅ mark it as made to automatically deduct ingredients from your pantry.
📅 Revisit recipes later and compare them with today's fruit. 📊 Put two or three formulas side by side to discover which is sweeter, brighter, or fuller-bodied.
