Whisk or sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add remaining wet ingredients and mix well. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add liquids, lemon zest, and lime zest. Stir gently just to blend the wet and dry mixture. Spoon into greased muffin containers. Sprinkle kosher salt lightly over tops of muffins. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on rack. Variation: Coarsely chop 1/2 cup golden raisins. Soak the raisins in the tequila, triple sec, and lime juice for 1/2 hour, then combine with other wet ingredients. The lime is evident in these chewy muffins, which are a welcome addition to Sunday brunch or breakfast with huevos rancheros or other egg dishes.
