- Allow the sprigs to dry on a rack for 30 to 45 minutes until the sprigs are tacky but not totally wet
- Roll the sprigs in a plate of granulated sugar
- Put the sprigs back on to the rack and allow the sugar to set before placing it in the cocktail
Lemon twist:
- Use a zester channel knife to create a strip of lemon rind that you can twist into a loose spiral and plop on the edge of the glass
