Last time we ate there my mother asked them for the recipe which they happily shared. We went home and harvested some meyer lemons from our tree and started a batch.
Last week I finished it (it requires 2 weeks of soaking lemon peel in alcohol to extract the lemon oil flavour).
It tastes pretty good, and has a nice, not-too-sweet lemon flavour. My version has a very slight bitterness which I think is due to including too much peel rather than zest - but it's hardly discernable and won't stop me drinking it. I'm just makeing a note for next time I make it!!
I took this photo without noticing how messy my kitchen looks!

Did the recipe they gave you specify meyer lemons?
messy?
Meyer lemons were not specified - but that is what he have in the garden!
Since they are typically sweet lemons I think they would be a good choice if you have a choice.
