This drink was created in New Orleans in the 1850’s. It is known as one of if not the first instance of citrus in a cocktail. Leave the lemon peel garnish in place as you sip!

Editor's Note
A foundational New Orleans classic. The sugar-rimmed glass and interior lemon peel provide a tactile, aromatic experience that defines the Crusta style.
