Ingredients

Deselect All

3/4 cup raw sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw, or pure cane sugar

3 sprigs rosemary

One 3-inch piece orange zest

1 very ripe nectarine, peeled, pitted and mashed to a puree

Club soda or sparkling water, cold

4 orange slices or half-moons, for garnish

Directions

Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the rosemary and orange zest; let cool to room temperature. Transfer to a lidded container and refrigerate for at least 2 and up to 24 hours. (The longer it sits, the stronger the flavor.)
Remove the rosemary and orange zest from the syrup, and discard. Fill four 8-ounce glasses with ice; add to each 2 tablespoons of the nectarine puree and 2 tablespoons of the rosemary syrup. Fill to the top with club soda or sparkling water and garnish with an orange slice. (Save any remaining syrup for another use.)
