For the best flavor, use fresh lemon juice and zest. Bottled juice lacks the brightness of fresh lemons. Be sure to use a pre-baked pie crust to avoid a soggy bottom. When folding the meringue into the lemon mixture, use a light hand to maintain the airy texture. If you prefer a more pronounced lemon flavor, you can add an additional teaspoon of lemon zest.
