Could anything be more sweetsourlicious than the Meyer lemon? All of the lemon goodness with none of the tongue-burning tartness. Our neighbor just put out a little wagon of free Meyers; imagine my indescribable delight. The scent is intoxicating. My personal favorite use for a nice, ripe Meyer lemon is in a lemon martini:
2 parts vodka (*recommended: Tito's Vodka distilled in Austin, TX of all places—available at Trader Joe's)
1 part limoncello
1 part fresh squeezed Meyer lemon juice
Give a vigorous shake over ice, strain and serve in a pretty cocktail glass. I like to garnish with a maraschino cherry. It's a bit unorthodox, but who doesn't enjoy the taste of a sweet, boozy, bright red maraschino cherry at the end of a good cocktail?
