Recipe Note
To create your heart garnishes:
• Cut your lemon in half and then into a 1/2" wide wheel.
• Carefully cut into the top of the peel on one side and open up your wheel.
• Scrape out the lemon, leaving a thin peel strip.
• Cut your peel down the center- lengthwise, leaving the ends attached-about an 1/8".
• Gently open each end out and fold the top ends into the center, about half way and pierce with your cocktail stick working from right to left through the middle of your peel to create a heart shape. There should be 4 piercings.
• Pull out your sides of your heart peel to finesse your shape.
