Stir gently to mix.
Garnish with a rosemary sprig and peach slice.
Add a splash of club soda for extra fizz, if desired.
Notes
For peach syrup, I cook equal parts diced peach, sugar, and water over low heat, then strain and cool.Using white peaches will create a lighter-looking drink.Yellow peaches give a deeper color and flavor.If I want a strong rosemary note, I let the sprig sit in the syrup for 30 minutes before mixing.Prosecco should be well-chilled before serving for the best experience.I sometimes prepare the muddled peach and syrup ahead of time for fast assembly.Adjust sweetness by adding more or less syrup, keeping in mind prosecco’s dryness.Frozen peach slices work fine if ripe fruit isn’t available, though I get the best flavor with fresh peaches.Avoid over-muddling rosemary, as too much can make the drink taste bitter.
