Tamarindo Borracho Recipe
Sometimes a shot of tequila needs more than a lime wedge and some salt to spiff it up; mix in a little spicy syrup when you want an extra kick.
This recipe was featured as part of both our Cinco de Mayo cocktail menu and our Chile Pepper Recipes photo gallery.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 ounces añejo tequila
- 1 ounce Tamarind-Chile Syrup
- Ice
- 1 lime wedge
INSTRUCTIONS
Place tequila and syrup in a cocktail shaker, fill halfway with ice, and shake until well chilled, about 10 seconds. Pour into a rocks glass, squeeze lime wedge over top, and serve.
I have liquid tamarind concentrate in my cupboard and would really like to use it instead of having to buy tamarind paste. How can I make the syrup using it instead and keep the concentration of the flavor similar?
Simple, delicious, difficult to screw up... Excellent.
So when is happy hour..?
Wow sounds great!
