Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the ice ring:
1 lemon, thinly sliced
3-4 sprigs sage
For the punch:
8 strips lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
1/2 large bunch of sage
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups fresh lemon juice
2 cups gin
2 cups ginger liqueur, such as Canton
6 cups unflavored sparkling water
2 bottles chilled sparkling wine
Special Equipment
A Bundt or tube pan; a large (about 6-quart) punch bowl or mixing bowl

Steps:

  • Make the ice ring: Arrange lemon slices and sage in bottom of Bundt pan and fill with cold water, leaving about 1" of space at the top. Freeze until set, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
  • Make the punch: Muddle lemon zest, sage, and sugar in a measuring cup with a pour spout until sugar starts to turn green. Add 2 cups warm water and stir until sugar is dissolved, then let sit 10 minutes to infuse.
  • Stir in lemon juice, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large punch bowl. Stir in gin and ginger liqueur.
  • Just before serving, dip bottom of Bundt pan into a bowl of hot water. Place a plate over mold, invert ice ring onto plate, then transfer to punch bowl. Pour in sparkling water and wine and stir gently.
  • Do Ahead
  • Punch, without sparkling water and wine, can be made 2 days ahead; transfer to an airtight container and chill.
