I love to make this Peach-Rosemary Shrub Syrup to add to cold drinks in summer. Not only does it taste delicious, it adds an extra burst of flavor to seltzer water or soda. It is also a fine addition to gin or vodka cocktails.
To make this syrup, start by combining peaches, sugar, and rosemary in a jar. Using a muddler, smash all the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves. Pour in vinegar. Place the lid on top and shake well. Leave in a cool, dark spot for 3-4 days, shaking gently every day. After it rests, the syrup is ready and you can strain it into another jar or bottle. To use the syrup, stir a couple of tablespoons into your favorite cold drinks or use as a base flavor in a vinaigrette.
