Method
Stir all ingredients with ice cubes in a mixing glass and strain into a narrow cocktail glass already prepared with the sugar crust on the rim.
Garnish
Rub a slice of orange (or lemon) around the rim of the glass and dip the rim in superfine white sugar so that it sticks and forms the crust. Carefully fit a coiled orange or lemon peel around the inside of the glass.
History
Invented by Joseph Santini, a New Orleans bartender, at his bar Jewel of the South. The name comes from the sugar crust that covers the rim of the glass. Jerry Thomas was the first to publish the recipe, in his 1862 cocktail manual.
