Delightful!
This was a great accompaniment to some grilled steak and grilled asparagus! It had a nice zing to it without overwhelming the flavor, and came together pretty easily. The little piece of lemon and lime rind really made a difference as zest- don't skip!
*I halved the recipe because I didn't want to commit two full cups of butter to a new recipe and I do not recommend doing so. The only trouble I had was getting everything to properly emulsify, which would not have happened if I had the appropriate measurements in my pitcher. Next time I will absolutely make a full batch!
