Provided by Anna Stockwell

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.
