1
Prepare honey syrup
If you don't have honey syrup prepared, combine equal parts honey and very hot water (by volume). Stir until fully combined and let cool. Measure 0.5 oz for this cocktail.
2
Shake
Add 2 oz 44 North Nectarine vodka, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz honey syrup and a generous scoop of ice to a cocktail shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker feels very cold.
3
Strain
Double-strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or rocks glass with fresh ice (use a fine mesh strainer in addition to the shaker strainer if you want to remove small ice shards and pulp).

4
Lightly slap the rosemary sprig between your palms to release its aromatics, then place it on the surface of the cocktail as a garnish. Optionally float a thin nectarine slice on the surface or rim the glass with it.
5
Serve immediately. Advise the drinker to give the rosemary a gentle sniff before sipping to enjoy the herbaceous aroma with the nectarine and honey notes.
