For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The quality of your mayonnaise will significantly impact the final taste of the aioli. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can finely mince the garlic and tarragon and mash them together with the salt using the flat side of a knife. Adjust the amount of garlic and cayenne pepper to your liking. This recipe is easily customizable to suit your individual taste preferences. This aioli can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
