Tamarind ginger fizz
Alcoholic beverages
Agua tamarindo, or tamarind water, is served everywhere in Mexico. Made from tamarind pulp, water and usually lots and lots of sugar, it is a refreshing change from lemonade or ice tea. I have eased up on the sugar and added ginger and lime for a bit of a bite. The chili salted rim is a fun surprise on the lips—a great addition to any margarita as well! The addition of tequila would be well received by this Mexican inspired refresher! **A note about tamarind pulp: I buy tamarind in blocks of the sticky tamarind fruit along with the seeds and fibrous bits. To obtain usable pulp, put ½ cup of the tamarind in a pot with just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then let sit for 30 minutes (or overnight) and press it through a strainer. Your pulp should be the consistency of yogurt.
