A lemon twist garnish, also known as a lemon twist, is a thin strip of lemon peel that is twisted to create a decorative and flavorful addition to cocktails, mocktails, and other beverages. Lemon twists are a classic and versatile garnish that can add a bright citrus flavor and aroma to any drink.
To make a lemon twist garnish, you will need a sharp knife or vegetable peeler and a fresh lemon. First, use the knife or peeler to remove a thin strip of lemon peel, about 1/8 inch thick and 3 inches long. Hold the strip of peel between your thumb and forefinger and twist it gently until it curls. You can also use a knife to score the inside of the peel before twisting it to create a more elaborate garnish.
