Every year, The Improper Bostonian has a "Beloved Bartenders" issue. They name the top bartenders in the city, do a little profile on them, and give the recipe for their signature cocktail. This week I'll be highlighting a different one each day, some of the more interesting drinks that are listed in the issue.
First up, the Lemon-Thyme Gimlet, from Lynam Hennessy, bartender at Pomodoro, on Harvard Ave. in Brookline. I've been drinking gimlets since reading about them in Raymond Chandler novels, and this is a twist on the classic recipe.
The Lemon-Thyme Gimlet
3 oz. Gale Force Gin
equal parts fresh lemon juice and thyme simple syrup
Shake on ice and serve up or on the rocks. Garnish with fresh thyme and a lemon twist.
