Place head of immersion blender at bottom of cup and switch it on. As aioli forms, slowly tilt and lift the head of the immersion blender until all oil is emulsified. (For food processor instructions, see note).

Transfer aioli to a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Combine aioli, tarragon, and lemon zest and juice in a small bowl and stir until roughly combined. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with grilled vegetables, meats, or sandwiches. Aioli can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
