Before the leaves begin to turn, and the evenings get cool, and the individuals start singing the commendations of Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte — be a peach, and stay summer only somewhat more.
I've discussed this a tad previously, yet spending the main couple a very long time of the period in the clinic, while my father recouped from a head injury, has made it extremely difficult for me to grapple with the date on the schedule. Obviously, I don't lament being there close by, however it has made me particularly cautious not to lose trace of what's most important since things have returned (for the most part) to typical. I need to appreciate each minute, and each peach, summer has left to offer, and not scramble for it to be finished.
My father's damage put a limit on his life, however mine. One minute I was coming at a decent pace, at that point everything went to an abrupt stop. It's taken me nearly as long to recoup from all the pressure and lack of sleep as it's taken him to recuperate, and since I'm beginning to get back up to speed, I would prefer not to race. I need to back off, and acknowledge things. Like sweet peaches, and the woodsy aroma that rosemary leaves on my fingers after I pull the leaves from the branch.

- For the Cocktails
- 2 peaches
- 2-3 oz. rosemary simple syrup (recipe below)
- Prosecco
- Crushed ice
- Sprig of rosemary, for garnish
- Rosemary Simple Syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary
INSTRUCTIONS
- For the rosemary simple syrup:
- In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar and water. Add the rosemary, and place over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup has as strong a rosemary flavor as you like (the longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor will get).
- Remove the sprigs of rosemary, and let the syrup cool. Pour into a clean, tightly lidded jar, and store in the fridge for up to a couple of weeks.
- For the peaches:
- Preheat your grill to a medium temperature. Turn off the burner(s) on one side of the grill, or push the charcoal to only one side of the grate so that one side of the grill is hotter than the other.
- Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Lightly brush the cut side with a little oil to prevent stickage (I like coconut oil, but any neutral, high-heat oil will work), and place cut-side-down over the hottest side of the grill. Let cook for just a few minutes, or until lightly charred. Flip the peaches over, and move them to the cooler side of the grill. Close the lid, and let them roast for 3-5 minutes more, or until the fruit is softened and juices begin bubbling at the surface.
- Add the grilled peaches to your blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. Strain the peach nectar through a fine mesh sieve, and refrigerate until completely chilled. You should have about ¾ cup.
- For the cocktail:
- Once the peach nectar has cooled, add 2-3 oz. of rosemary simple syrup, to taste (the amount will depend on how strong your syrup is, and how sweet your peaches are).
- Add about ½ cup of the peach and rosemary mixture to a tall glass with ice (for two large cocktails), or about ¼ cup to a not-so-tall glass (for four small cocktails) and top each glass with prosecco. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary, and serve.
