Twists are a classic garnish for a good reason. They leave the top of a drink really fresh with an aroma that reaches you before you’ve taken a sip. You can either just squeeze the rind over the surface to extract the oil from the rind and get a lovely aroma, or add the whole piece of zest to the drink. I generally think just a squeeze is enough, particularly with martinis, otherwise you can overpower the drink with too much citrus and sour.
