Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat a small cast iron skillet on medium high heat and add a few slices of lemon. Brush a small amount of olive oil on the lemon slices and cook until slightly charred on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.

    Step 2

    Once your lemon slice is charred, remove to a plate and sprinkle with sugar (optional). Place in the freezer to cool, at least 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    In a small saucepan, make the simple syrup by combining sugar, water, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Place over medium heat. Stir until all of the sugar has dissolved and mixture comes to a simmer, about 3 minutes.

    Step 4

    Strain herbs from syrup and place in a heatproof container. This step is best done ahead of time so that you can have simple syrup that is cooled and ready to use. Makes about ⅓ cup syrup, reserve remaining syrup for other drinks.

    Step 5

    Add Bombay Sapphire to glass.

    Step 6

    Take a slice of lemon and rub it around the rim of the glass, squeeze a few drops into the gin, and drop it in, as this will add additional citrus notes.

    Step 7

    Add ¼ oz. of the infused syrup and the tonic. Using the long stirring spoon, stir gently to combine.

    Step 8

    Add ice and stir once more to evenly chill the drink.

    Step 9

    Garnish with thyme, rosemary, and sage. Add your charred lemon slice to the rim and a handful of pomegranate arils to the drink.
