The garnish is really its defining characteristic: the easy way to create the “horse’s neck” is to use a channel knife to make and extra long lemon twist, making sure a bit of length peeks out of the glass. For those a bit more ambitious, use a pairing knife to create a wider swath of lemon peel. Avoiding the pith, and pare the lemon like you would an apple, creating one continuous peel.
