About


Similar in taste to a regular margarita, all the fruit and sour flavor in this drink comes from the tamarind. Note: Be careful to use a tamarind pulp without any seeds in it. If your pulp has seeds, mix with a bit of water in a pot over a low heat until dissolved, then allow to cool and strain.
