Aristotle believed that in their purest forms, monarchy, democracy and aristocracy could all be corrupted. Instead, the best governments should meld elements of all three. How is this idea reflected in the United States Constitution?

A president who is democratically elected by the people is head of state and a group of elite members make laws for general society.
Yeah, this reflects the constitution, except even Aristotle could never have thought that people would elect an imbecile, that most of the public wouldn't or couldn't use their democratic right to vote, and that the elite would only be interested in their maintaining their own power!

It isn't would be the short answer.But you could argue that the president is a temporary monarch as for aristocracy the USA doesnt have them but the rich have considerable influence.
As for democracy need I say anything, USA government is pure democracy.

Monarchy--Supreme court and executive branch. Aristocracy--Senate, they serve 6-year terms and may serve indefinitely, Democracy--House and elections.
