THEN

Remove stems from figs and place all but two in a food processor. Pulse to puree and set aside. Peel lemons with a citrus peeler and juice. Combine rosemary syrup, fig puree, chilled vodka, lemon juice, and ice in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Fill two glasses with ice and pour cocktail mixture into each glass. Top with ONEHOPE Sparkling Wine and garnish with lemon peel, fresh rosemary, and one half fig each.
