3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
Lemon or orange twist, for garnish
Coat the rim of a coupe glass with sugar, if desired, and set aside.

Strain into the prepared glass.
Garnish with an orange twist.
We’ve read that a lot of cocktails were invented in the era of Prohibition because people were trying to mask the taste of badly made alcohol. But according to Liquor.com that’s false. They say, “When your drinking experience is an illegal one, you just want to get down to drinking.”
