Make the rosemary syrup. Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan, add a sprig of rosemary, then gently bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, remove from the heat, and let the rosemary steep until cool. Then remove the sprig of rosemary.

Cut the watermelon into pieces and remove any seeds. Set aside a few small cubes for garnish, then blend the rest until you get a very smooth puree.
Strain the watermelon puree through a fine strainer to get a more fluid juice.
Pour the watermelon juice into a large pitcher. Add the cooled rosemary syrup and the lime juice, then stir well.
Divide a few ice cubes and the reserved watermelon cubes among the glasses.
Pour the watermelon mixture into each glass, then top off with ice-cold sparkling water.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary and serve immediately for a nice cold drink.
