Sparkling Rosemary Peach Cocktails

A very nice summer cocktail! I cut the sugar back to 1/3 cup. I have also used peach nectar with good results, but the fresh peaches are much better. I don't know how many ounces a bottle of champagne is, but just use a regular bottle. LOL Time doen not include chilling time. From Cooking Light 2010.
