Peach Rosemary Rum Smash

Juicy peach and fragrant rosemary create a refreshing garden-inspired cocktail. Fresh lemon brings brightness that balances the fruit’s natural sweetness. Rum adds warmth and depth without overpowering the delicate peach flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 oz white or lightly aged rum

• 2 oz peach nectar

• ¾ oz fresh lemon juice

• ½ oz rosemary simple syrup

• Ice

• Fresh peach slice and rosemary sprig for garnish

Instructions

1. Add the rum, peach nectar, lemon juice, and rosemary syrup to a cocktail shaker.

2. Fill the shaker with ice.

3. Shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds.

4. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.

5. Garnish with a fresh peach slice and rosemary sprig.

Notes

To make rosemary syrup, simmer equal parts sugar and water with rosemary for five minutes, then cool and strain. For a spirit-free version, replace the rum with sparkling water or nonalcoholic rum.
