How to make it

Select and pre-chill a Flute glass.
Prepare the glass with citrus peel and sugar CRUSTA: Find a whole lemon that fits snugly inside the top of your glass with its equator in contact with the rim. Cut off both ends to leave a central slice a little more than 25ml thick.
Remove the pulp from this central slice to leave a ring of skin. Push this into the top of the glass.
Moisten the outside rim of the glass and exposed peel with citrus juice, then dip in sugar to frost the edge.
Leave for a couple of hours to form a hard crust, then place the glass in a freezer to chill.
Shake all ingredients with ice.
Fine strain into the pre-prepared glass.
