01 -

This garnish packs a punch of brightness that feels like sharing a secret with a friend that everything just tastes better with lemon
It became a favorite because it’s so quick to prep and instantly elevates any dish or drink with minimal effort

02 -

Make sure to cut off the tips so the wedge stands steady and looks neat on your glass or dish
Scoring the flesh gently or notching the wedge makes it easier to perch perfectly on rims which makes serving just a little bit more special

03 -

Always choose lemons that feel heavy for their size to ensure juiciness
A quick roll of the lemon on the counter before cutting helps release more juice
