A plate, a bowl, and a cocktail glass
Ingredients
1lemon or lime
Sugar
Instructions
Squeeze the juice out of the whole lemon into the bowl or a deep soup plate. Make sure to choose, so that the glass will fit inside.
Take a plate that is wider than the rim of your glass and pour sugar/salt onto its surface.
While holding the glass by its stem, first, dip it into the juice so that only the outer edge will get moist, and then dip it the same way into the plate with sugar. On the other hand, you can hold the glass upside down at a 90-degree angle, however, with this method, sugar can get inside the glass and it will be more difficult and time-consuming to get rid of it.
Prepare all the glasses before making the cocktail itself.
Carefully pour your cocktail into the center of the glass to prevent liquid from getting to the sugar coating.
