- Select and pre-chill a FLUTE GLASS.
- Prepare the glass with citrus peel and sugar CRUSTA by first finding a whole lemon that fits snugly inside the top of your glass with its equator in contact with the rim of the glass.
- Cut off both ends of the fruit to leave a central slice a little more than 25ml (1 inch) thick.
- Carefully remove the pulp from this central slice to leave a ring of skin and push this into the top of the glass.
- Moisten the outside rim of the glass and exposed fruit with citrus juice and dip in white caster sugar to heavily frost the edge of both peel and glass.
- Leave for a couple of hours to form a hard crust that helps secure the peel. (The ring of citrus peel should become a waterproof extension to the top of the glass.) Place in a freezer to chill the glass ready for the cocktail.
- SHAKE all ingredients with ice.
- FINE STRAIN into pre-prepared glass.
