8oz Cold, filtered water (to taste)

method
Chill all of the liquid ingredients in advance.
Gently pour the gin, cognac, lemon juice, and syrup into a punch bowl and stir to combine.
Add half of the water and an ice block and gently pour in most of the champagne.
Taste the drink and add more lemon juice, syrup, water, or champagne, as needed.
Garnish with thin lemon wheels and/or freshly grated nutmeg.
*Oleo-Saccharum:
In a medium jar or ziploc bag, combine 1 cup of sugar with the peels of 3-4 clean lemons, oranges, blood oranges or grapefruits.
Muddle the peels and shake or mix the contents so they are evenly distributed.
Seal and store at room temperature for 2-3 days.
Either refrigerate until needed, or add 1 cup boiling water, stir to dissolve, strain off and discard the peels, cool the syrup, and use in your punch.
