Ingredients
- FOR THE PEACH NECTAR:
- 4 whole Peaches, Pits Removed And Cut In Half
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
- FOR THE ROSEMARY SIMPLE SYRUP:
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Corn Syrup
- ¼ cups Rosemary Sprigs
- FOR THE DRINK:
- 3 ounces, fluid Vodka
- 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1 cup Sprite
- FOR GARNISH:
- 4 slices Peaches

Preparation
1. For the peach nectar, using a food processor, add in the peaches (pits removed), sugar and lime juice. Pulse until pureed. Pour the contents into 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.
2. To make rosemary simple syrup, combine syrup ingredients 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.
3. To prepare the drink, using a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add in vodka, lime juice, honey, 2 tablespoons rosemary simple syrup, 4 tablespoons peach nectar and shake. Pour into two cocktail glasses filled with ice and top with Sprite and a splash of water. Garnish with two peach slices per drink and a rosemary sprig.
Serves 2.
