Method
- 1Select and pre-chill a COUPE GLASS.

Thankfully, sugar rims are now out of vogue, and, as Embury writes in his book, 'A twist of lemon may be used if desired and the peel dropped into the glass. Otherwise no decoration.'.

- 4FINE STRAIN into chilled glass.
- 5EXPRESS orange zest twist over the cocktail and use as garnish.
