The Lone Star Lemonade mocktail — smoky peach sweet tea with smoked salt rim and rosemary

Ingredients

2 oz fresh peach puree (1 ripe peach, blended)
3 oz brewed black tea (cooled and sweetened with 1 tsp brown sugar)
0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
0.25 oz vanilla extract
1 oz ginger ale
Smoked salt (hickory), for rim
Ice
Fresh rosemary sprig and peach slice, for garnish

Instructions

Rim a mason jar or tall glass with smoked salt: wet the rim with peach juice and dip into hickory smoked salt.
Fill the glass with ice.
Combine peach puree, sweetened black tea, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
Pour over ice.
Top with ginger ale and stir gently once.
Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig and a peach slice on the rim.
Lightly slap the rosemary between your palms before placing — this releases the aromatic oils.
