Thad Vogler of Bar Agricole leans on a base of red wine to maintain low ABV in this seasonal punch, to which he adds a double dose of citrus, housemade raspberry syrup and sparkling water.

Raspberry Gomme Syrup:
Mix equal parts raspberries and sugar by weight. Macerate for one week in the refrigerator, mixing regularly. Strain through a chinois, boil the resulting liquid and skim the foam from the top. Add 30 percent water and sugar by volume.
