Meyer Lemon Margaritas
Makes 8 servings
1 and 1/2 cups tequila
1 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice
3/4 cup triple sec
1/2 cup Meyer lemon simple syrup
Combine all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about two hours. Stir and serve.
If serving right away, combine all ingredients, stir well, then pour into a cocktail shaker half full of ice. Shake well, and strain into glasses. Or just pour over ice.
Mix a little zest in with the salt
These margaritas are good with or without salt on the rim of the glass. For one batch, I mixed some finely grated zest in with the kosher salt. It's kind of labor intensive for a crowd, but if you have just a few to serve, it makes a pretty accent.
