Equipment
- 1 Pairing knife
Ingredients
- 1 slice orange
Instructions
- Make a thin slice of citrus. And on one side, cut through the peel with a pairing knife as shown above.
- Cut the peel away from the fruit leaving a little bit of the white attached to the peel.
- Pick up the peel and twist the citrus into a spiral shape.
Notes
While I used orange, you can use any citrus fruit like lime, lemon, grapfruit or any variation of orange like blood orange.
I think organic citrus works best for a cocktail garnish that will end up sitting in a drink. You can wash it with a fruit and veggie wash and remove as much junk from the outside as possible. And there shouldn’t be any invisible chemicals.
The longer the piece of peel, the longer the citrus twist and the easier it will spiral. A slice from the center of the fruit is the easiest way to get that.
