Instructions

Peel and mash the garlic with salt and pepper using a mortar and pestle. Mash the garlic very finely, so it will disperse evenly in the dipping sauce. Alternatively, use a garlic press to press the garlic. If using the garlic press, there's no need to add the salt and pepper at this stage.
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the lemon juice and remove the seeds.
In a bowl, add the mayonnaise, mashed garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well. Add the olive oil slowly while continuing to stir the sauce. Mix until the olive oil is fully blended.

Notes

Use freshly mashed garlic and freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best banging lemon garlic aioli sauce.
