Ingredients

• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 8" sprigs of rosemary
• 1 1/2 lbs yellow peaches, quartered
• 2 lb tomatoes, yellow or green varieties, halved
• 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cups white wine, I used Sauvignon Blanc
• 2 cans ginger ale

Preparation

1. In a pot over medium heat, dissolve sugar in the water with rosemary. Add peaches and cook until simmering, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool in the refrigerator for one hour or overnight (the latter will give you stronger peach and rosemary flavors).
2. Meanwhile, puree tomatoes with ginger in a food processor. When the simple syrup is cooled, remove the peaches with a slotted spoon, add to tomatoes and puree again. Strain through a wire colander set over a bowl to remove the peach and tomato bits.
3. To assemble the drink, fill a shaker with ice. Add 1/4 cup white wine, 1/3 cup ginger ale, 2 Tbsp simple syrup and 1/3 cup of the puree to the shaker. Mix well and serve in a wine glass with rosemary, tomatoes and/or peaches for garnish.
