servings

Ingredients

  • 4 large peaches, pits removed, halved

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 3 ounces vodka

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 2 tablespoons rosemary simple syrup (see recipe below)

  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda or soda water

  • 4 slices of peaches, for garnish

  • 2 rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Directions

  • Using a food processor, pureé the halved peaches, sugar and lime juice. Pour the contents through a fine sieve over a bowl to catch the nectar. Using the back of a spoon, push through all the nectar you can and toss the bits that don’t make it through. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add in vodka, lime juice, honey, rosemary simple syrup, and 4 tablespoons peach nectar. Shake until blended. Strain into two cocktail glasses filled with ice. Top with soda and a splash of water. Garnish each with two peach slices and a rosemary sprig.
  • For rosemary simple syrup, combine 2 cups of water, 2 cups of sugar, 3 tablespoons corn syrup and ¼ cup rosemary leaves in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and rest for 20 minutes. Strain into a glass and refrigerate until chilled.
