Notes

The better quality your butter, the better this will taste.  Grassfed, Kerrygold Irish butter can make this recipe really shine, and it's readily available at most grocery stores.  Similarly, if possible, try to use organic citrus, especially since you will be consuming the zest.  Conventional produce has a higher ratio of pesticides on the skins of citrus.
