Meyer Lemon Margarita - A Twist on a Simple Margarita Recipe

Step 1

Zest two of the lemons to make about 1 tbsp lemon zest

Step 2

In a small bowl add sea salt, sugar and lemon zest and mix.  Place on a shallow plate.  Wet the rim of each margarita glass and rim glasses by placing glass upside down into sugar/salt mixture.

Step 3

Juice all 4 of the Meyer Lemons over a seive to ensure no seeds get into liquid.

Step 4

In a large cocktail shaker add 1 cup of ice cubes, 4 oz Meyer Lemon Juice, 4 oz of Cointreau and 4 oz of Tequila.  Cover and shake well with ice to cool.  Gently pour into margarita glasses keeping ice out.  Serve with a garnish of lemon and cilantro if desired.
