Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Cut a notch in a lemon wedge, then run the lemon around the rim of a cocktail glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of superfine sugar.
Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice and shake until cold.
Strain the drink into the prepared glass. Garnish with a lemon twist or orange twist.

Notes

*Superfine sugar works well for a sugar rim since it sticks to the glass better than granulated sugar. You can use granulated sugar if it’s all you have; note it can tend to fall off into the drink, making it taste a shade sweeter.
