Am I alone in using a "made for the purpose" lemon zesting tool????

A method that seems to work for me (but I've never read anything about it)
is to scrape the peel with a finely serrated knife. This works well with
some knives, but not at all well with others. I think one thing that helps
is for the knife to have a fairly stiff blade. The resulting zest has a
finer texture, and mixes in more thoroughly, than either minced or grated zest.
