Step-by-step

  • To Make the Rimming Sugar: Combine the sugar, salt, and lemon zest. Spread on a cookie sheet in a thin layer and allow to dry. (You can rim the cocktail before it is dry, but if storing any leftovers, leave it out until completely dry to the touch).
  • To Prepare the Cocktails: Rub the rim of a cocktail glass with lemon and dip into the lemon salt/sugar mixture.
  • Fill the glass with crushed ice (I put ice into a plastic bag, cover it with a cloth and pound it with a meat mallet!).
  • Pour the cocktail ingredients into a cocktail shaker and fill the shaker with ice; cover and shake until the container is ice cold.
  • Pour the mixture into the ice-filled glasses and garnish each with a lemon slice.
