Let peaches cool; peel, and pit. Stir together syrup, light rum, sweet red vermouth, fresh lemon juice, and bitters. Place half a peach in each of 6 saucer Champagne glasses. Fill with crushed ice, and top with punch.
Cook's Note
This drink is traditionally made with canned peaches and syrup. But poaching fresh peaches yields a richer, more intense flavor.
