Equipment
- Saucepan
- Large Punch Bowl
- Ladle
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries plus extra for garnish
- 10-12 sage leaves plus extra for garnish
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups gin
- 3/4 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 3 cups club soda chilled
Instructions
- Make the Blueberry Sage Syrup:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of blueberries, sugar, water, and sage leaves.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the blueberries are soft and the syrup is slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and allow it to cool. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids, pressing on the berries and sage leaves to extract all the flavors.
- Prepare the Punch:
- In a large punch bowl, combine the strained blueberry sage syrup, gin, and lemon juice. Stir well to mix.
- Add ice cubes to the bowl to chill the mixture.
- Just before serving, gently stir in the club soda to maintain its fizz.
- Serve:
- Ladle the punch into glasses filled with more ice cubes.
- Garnish each glass with fresh blueberries and a few sage leaves.
- Enjoy!
- This punch is best served fresh and can be kept in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before adding the club soda.
