While this cocktail is delicious made with everyday lemons, when the strikingly aromatic Meyer lemons become available in early winter, it’s worth celebrating their deliciousness with a margarita.  Until the last decade of the twentieth century, Meyer lemons were mostly ignored and thought to lack viability as a commercial crop—until food luminaries like Alice Waters and Martha Stewart began championing them.  They are thought to be a cross between a lemon and an orange.  You’ll find that it pays off enormously to use the Meyer lemon in three ways in this drink: infused into tequila, made into simple syrup and squeezed into fresh juice.

Meyer Lemon Margarita Recipe Ingredients

  • 10 Meyer Lemons total
  • 1 750ml bottle 100% blue agave blanco tequila
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3/4 cup triple sec
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon twists – optional

Meyer Lemon Margarita Recipe Preparation

Plan to prepare the Meyer Lemon Tequila and Meyer Lemon Simple Syrup at least 4 days beforehand.

Meyer Lemon Tequila

  1. Using a vegetable peeler or knife, remove the colored zest from 8 of the Meyer Lemons in as big of strips as you can. Set the lemons for juicing later.
  2. Place the zest in a glass jar. Add the tequila and cover.
  3. Allow to stand for 4 days, tipping the jar back and forth several times each day.
  4. After 4 days strain out the zest.
  5. Store the tequila in a tightly-covered glass container for up to two months.

Meyer Lemon Simple Syrup

  1. Remove the zest from 2 more Meyer lemons, like you did for the first 8.
  2. Place the zest into a small saucepan. Add 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water.
  3. Set over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking until the mixture boils. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Cool, then strain into a glass jar. Cover tightly and refrigerate. It will keep for several weeks.

Meyer Lemon Margarita Recipe – Directions

Now that the prep work is all done it’s time to make some Margaritas!

  1. Squeeze as many “naked” Meyer lemons as you need to get 1 cup of fresh juice. (Start with about 5-6, depending on their size.)
  2. In a pitcher, combine the 1 cup of juice with 1 1/2 cups Meyer Lemon Tequila, 3/4 cup triple sec, and 1/2 cup Meyer Lemon Simple Syrup.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Pour in 1 cup of the Margarita mixture. Shake about 15 seconds, then strain into 2 Margarita glasses.
  4. Garnish with a lemon twist if desired.
