What is Lemon Twist?!


Question: What is Lemon Twist!?
What is Lemon Twist, and does it have alcohol in it!? If it does, is there anything that I can substitute for the alcohol!? Or if I can't substitute anything for the alcohol, is there anything I can substitute for the lemon twist itself in a lemon layer cake recipe!?

Answers:
Lemon twists are most often used to garnish dry vodka martinis or accompanying espresso, but they can be used with many other drinks!. They are used for both flavor and decoration!. Some people attempt to cut a twist directly from the lemon, but here is how to make a true lemon twist!.

Set up a space to make twists with a clean cutting board, knife and a lemon!. Although lemon is a natural exfoliant, put on gloves, as it's more clean and the citrus can get harsh on your hands!.
Step2 Cut the ends off the lemon!.
Step3 Cut the lemon lengthwise on one side, from end to end!. Just cut through the peel on one side, don't cut it in half!.
Step4 Take the spoon and clean out the fruity pulp in the center of the lemon, so you are left with only the peel!.
Step5 Roll the peel tightly into a tube and use a toothpick to secure it in place!.
Step6 Slice the lemon roll into about five or six (depending on lemon size) quarter-inch strips!.
Step7 When ready to serve, re-twist your strips again to make sure they are in a good corkscrew!. Run the rind around the rim of the glass to flavor it and then leave on the rim as a garnish!.

Lemon Twist recipe
3 oz Absolut? Citron vodka
1/2 oz dry vermouth
Shake the vodka and vermouth with cracked ice in a cocktail shaker!. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass!. Garnish with a lemon twist, and serve!.
