How to Make Crusta
- **Prepare the Rim:** Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of a chilled coupe or cocktail glass. Dip the rim into a shallow dish of superfine granulated sugar, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- **Combine Ingredients:** In a cocktail shaker, combine the brandy (or bourbon), Patron Citronage (or Cointreau), and simple syrup.
- **Shake with Ice:** Add cracked ice to the shaker. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
- **Strain and Garnish:** Strain the mixture into your prepared cocktail glass.
- **Create the Garnish:** Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, create a long, thin spiral of orange or lemon peel. Carefully drape the peel over the rim of the glass, allowing about 2 inches to hang over the side. Serve immediately and enjoy!
