    1 cup water
    1 cup white sugar
    1 cup fresh mint leaves
    1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
    1 teaspoon lemon zest
    1 1/2 fluid ounces cucumber-flavored vodka
    1 fluid ounce elderflower liqueur (such as St. Germain(R))
    1 fluid ounce dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)

    Combine water, sugar, mint, rosemary, and lemon zest together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let steep for at least 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass jar, cool to room temperature, and chill syrup in the refrigerator until cold, at least 30 minutes.
