Cocktail Recipe: Lemon-Thyme Gimlets

Inspired by Pomodoro in Boston. Great for winter or summer.

3 cups Martin Miller’s gin
1 bunch thyme
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/4 cups simple syrup (prepared by melting 2 cups sugar in 2 cups water and cooling)

Muddle the thyme in the gin and let it steep for several hours.
Combine the ingredients in a large pitcher.
Pour mixture into a cockail shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into chilled cocktail glasses and garnish with a thyme sprig.

Makes 4-6 cocktails.
