Tamarind - Jalapeno Margarita
From my recent visit to Mexico, I grabbed a bottle of Esperanto Tequila which is really yummy (ofcourse). Tamarind is so easily available in indian pantries and It goes really well with Jalapeno. So I made this drink on a monday night. I hope you all love the recipe.
Ingredients :
- Muddle 2 slices of fresh Jalapeno with lemon
- 2 oz. Premium Silver Tequila (I have used Esperanto)
- 1 oz. Cointreau
- 1 – ½ oz. Sweetened Tamarind Puree
- ½ oz. Lemon Juice
- ½ oz. Orange Juice
- ½ oz. Agave Syrup
- Coarse Salt mixed with Taco seasoning (optional)
- Lemon Wedge
Method : Mix Muddled Jalapenos, Tequila, Cointreau, Tamarind puree, lemon juice, orange juice, agave syrup, pinch of salt with seasoning in a shaker with ice. Shake it well till the tamarind puree is completely mixed. Now take a 16 oz. glass and squeeze lemon on its rim. Take a plate and put salt and taco seasoning mixture on it. Put the glass upside down over it so that this mix sticks to the rim. Add few cubes of ice in the glass. Now shake the shaker again and pour the mix to the glass. Decorate the glass with a lemon wedge and jalapeno. Enjoy this amazing drink!!
