To make perfect citrus twists for cocktails, peel a slender strip with a sharp veg peeler from around the middle of the fruit, then run your finger firmly along the underside of the strip, so it curls. If you peel the strip over the cocktail glasses, the oils from the skin will spray onto the drink, adding flavour.
