Ingredients

  • 4 Meyer Lemons juiced; two of them zested
  • 2 tbsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 4 oz Agave or Reposado Tequila
  • 4 oz Triple Sec (Cointreau)
  • 1 cup ice

Instructions

  • Zest two of the lemons to make about 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 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.
  • Juice all 4 of the Meyer Lemons over a seive to ensure no seeds get into liquid.
  • 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.
