citrus twist
Zesty drink decoration
A citrus twist is a thin strip of peel from a lemon, lime, or orange, twisted to release its aromatic oils and used as a cocktail garnish.
The twist adds both visual appeal and a subtle citrus flavor to drinks: She finished the martini with a lemon twist.
The bartender may rub the twist along the rim of the glass before dropping it in.
