Lemon Slice

A thin wheel-cut slice of lemon (cross-section through the fruit) used as a flat garnish resting on the rim or floating on the drink. Distinct from a lemon wedge (which is cut for squeezing) — the slice's purpose is visual + aromatic with minor juice contribution. Standard in lemon-forward highballs (lemonade, French 75 variants), gin and tonics, Tom Collins variations, and bramble-style drinks where the lemon wheel signals the citrus base of the cocktail.
