Crustas

A Crusta is a cocktail made from any spirit base served in a large sugar-rimmed wine glass lined with a spiral of lemon peel. A small amount of lemon juice may also be included. This type of cocktail is thought to have been invented in the mid 19th century by Santina, the proprietor of Santina's Saloon, a Spanish cafe in New Orleans, USA.
