3.1
(9)
This sparkling punch, with its aromatic mixture of sage, lemon, and ginger, is refreshing and light enough to drink all night.
If you don’t have a punch bowl big enough to hold the full amount, start by filling it with half of the recipe, then refill throughout your party as guests continue to drink.

Preparation
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Stir in lemon juice, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large punch bowl. Stir in gin and ginger liqueur.
Step 4
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
Step 5
Punch, without sparkling water and wine, can be made 2 days ahead; transfer to an airtight container and chill.
