Preparation
Step 1
In a medium sized pot over medium-high heat, combine frozen blueberries, lemon juice, water and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a simmer.
Step 2
Muddle berries well, mashing them in the pot. Add the sage. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from stove and let sit overnight or for several hours (the longer it sits the more the sage will come through).
Step 4
Strain the blueberry mixture, pressing down hard on the berries with a muddler or back of a big spoon, allowing them to release their colorful juice.
Step 5
Place blueberry sage syrup in a large punch bowl or glass beverage container with a spigot (see notes).
Step 6
Add gin and Prosecco and garnish with a few sage leaves and lemon slices.
