Channel Knife

Description:

A channel knife cuts a thin long strip of citrus peel. This garnish is called a twist or spiral and is used for aroma and decoration. Citrus peel contains many essential oils, so it can be gently expressed over the drink to add a bright citrus aroma. A channel knife is useful for Martinis, Negronis, Old Fashioneds, and drinks with an orange or lemon accent.
