Peaches Cream Dirty Soda in 21 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Combine sugar, water, and diced peaches in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the peaches have broken down and the liquid is a deep amber hue.
3. Stir in lemon juice, remove from heat, and pour through a fine mesh strainer into a jar. Let it cool completely.
4. Fill a chilled glass to the brim with ice.
5. Pour 2 tbsp (30ml) of the prepared peach syrup over the ice.
6. Slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water, leaving about an inch of space at the top. Stir gently from the bottom up to integrate the syrup.
7. Slowly drizzle 2 tbsp (30ml) of heavy cream over the top of the soda.
8. Use a long spoon to give the drink 2-3 gentle rotations. Stop before it is fully mixed to maintain the white-and-orange swirls.
