Instruction manual
1
The easiest way to give lemon slices an unusual look is cannulation. On the peel of a carefully washed lemon, longitudinal grooves are carried out using a special device or cuts are made like grooves using a knife with a sharp tip. After that, you can cut the lemon into thin rings with a regular, well-sharpened knife. Thicker slices are designed to decorate the edge of the glass with a soft drink.
2
A “star” of lemon can be made by cutting the fruit to the middle, in the form of a zigzag, in a circle. In order to make the halves look even more attractive, first draw a canneling knife on the strip peel. Separate the halves of the fruit from each other. Put the cherry in the center of the star.
3
Now try to make a "bag" of lemon slices. One of them will serve as a stand for another, incised and folded in a special way. Cut a circle of lemon from one side to the middle and curl it in the form of a funnel. Put it on a stand. Put cherries in the center of the folded piece and decorate the structure with a mint leaf.

Slices with loops can find a place among table decorations. Cut a thin circle of lemon, cut a crust from it with a continuous strip, not cutting to the end so that it firmly rests on the pulp of a slice. Tie the end of the peel with a knot.
5
A fruit lemon basket looks very original. Using a sharp knife, make zigzag cuts from 2 sides on the upper side of the lemon, leave a jumper like a handle and cut off the bottom so that the lemon placed on it cannot fall on its side. In the cutouts, place the berries, for example, raspberries or black currants and sprinkle with sugar as desired.

Mugs of lemon can be laid out in a zigzag pattern. To do this, using a sharp knife, cut the lemon into thin circles and cut each circle from one side to the middle. The “snake” from lemon will give additional beauty to the cannulation. Turn their edges in different directions to get a snake pattern.
