AdInstructions
- Crusted lemon shell
- Choose a small wine or flute glass whose rim holds a small lemon snugly enough for the peel to act as a watertight extension of the glass.
- Cut both ends off the lemon and carefully remove the pulp, leaving a barrel-shaped shell of peel. Set the shell in the top of the glass.
- Wet the rim of the glass and the exposed edge of the shell with sugar syrup, then dip in caster sugar to coat both.
- Leave for a couple of hours until the sugar sets into a hard crust.
- Drink
- Add the simple syrup, limoncello, lemon bitters, lemon juice and vodka to a shaker with ice.
- Shake hard until well chilled.
- Strain into the prepared glass.
