Curated to add Frederic Yarm's website 2008 description of the drink as a reference. Changed recipe to "authentic." Added lemon twist to ingredient list.
I didn't have Greylock Gin and wanted to boost the Boston Bittah's and dry vermouth to give this a more distinctive character, so I used Tanqueray (2), Carpano Dry (1/2), honey syrup (1/4), Boston Bittahs (2 dashes/20 total drops). I was quite happy with the result since the Bittahs' chamomile works complements the honey syrup and the Carpano dry has an herbal forward profile that blends well with the gin's juniper and the twist's lemon oil.
