AdInstructions
- Prepare the glass (a couple of hours ahead):
- Pick a lemon that fits snugly into the top of a small wine glass, so the peel can act as a watertight extension of the glass.
- Cut off both ends of the lemon and carefully scoop out the pulp, leaving a barrel-shaped shell of peel. Set the shell in the top of the glass.
- Brush the rim of the glass and the exposed peel with simple syrup, then dip both in caster sugar.
- Leave for a couple of hours until the sugar sets into a hard crust.
- Make the drink:
- Shake the gin, simple syrup, lemon juice and Angostura bitters with ice.
- Fine strain into the prepared glass.
