Rosemary Infused Frozen Peach Bellini
Tomas Kauer - News Writer and Moderator 
The rosemary simple syrup is the ingredient that turns a regular bellini into something that smells like a herb garden. One cup of sugar simmered with one cup of water and three to four sprigs of fresh rosemary until the sugar dissolves. Strained, cooled. Then one cup of frozen peaches blended with a tablespoon of the rosemary syrup and one ounce of peach schnapps. Poured into a glass and topped with three ounces of prosecco. We keep making these on repeat all summer long.
The frozen peaches make it slushy. The peach schnapps makes it sweet and boozy. The rosemary syrup is the note underneath that you taste after each sip, herbal and warm, barely there but impossible to miss. Topped with cold prosecco, the bubbles fizz through the frozen peach slush and the glass frosts on the outside.
Tips for Making Rosemary Infused Frozen Peach Bellinis
Make the rosemary syrup ahead
Simmer sugar, water, and rosemary for five minutes. Strain and cool completely. The syrup keeps in the fridge for two weeks.
One tablespoon per drink is enough. The rosemary should be subtle. Too much and it tastes like medicine.
Blend the peaches from frozen
Frozen peaches create the slushy texture. Do not thaw them. Add the syrup and schnapps and blend until smooth.
Pour the thick peach mixture into a glass first, then top with prosecco. Stir gently once. Aggressive stirring kills the fizz.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is peach schnapps?
A sweet, peach-flavoured liqueur. One ounce per drink. It reinforces the peach flavour and adds a boozy sweetness that juice alone cannot.
Can I use fresh peaches?
You can, but add ice to compensate for the lack of frozen fruit. Frozen peaches produce a better slushy texture.
Can I skip the rosemary?
You can make a regular frozen peach bellini without it, but the rosemary is what makes this version special. The herbal note against the sweet peach and dry prosecco is the whole point.
