Tamarind Margarita

Tamarind Margarita

Tamarind Margarita

Sam, our head bartender who you’ll be hearing much more from, has created a new cocktail called the Tamarind Margarita. It’s not officially on our menu yet, but if you like it, we’ll add it. When you’re at the bar just ask for one and give us your feedback.

To make it at home follow Sam’s recipe…

Ingredients:

Fresh tamarind pulp (if you can’t find fresh tamarind use tamarind concentrate from the Oriental grocers and mix it water until you get a sauce like consistency): 12gr or roughly 1 tablespoon
Fresh lime juice: 20ml
100% blue agave reposado tequila (we use the Mexican classic Tradicional): 35ml
Triple Sec: 12.5ml
Sugar Syrup 12.5ml
Salt: 2gr
1 lime wedge

Shake all the ingredients over ice in a cocktail mixer. Strain over fresh ice in a salt rimmed tumbler glass and lightly squeeze a lime wedge over it, adding as a garnish to finish.

It goes really well with guacamole and chips and anything with a healthy kick of chilli.

Wow, thank you! This is the best margarita my wife and I have ever tasted. Tamarind is the perfect ingredient. Haven’t seen it used in cocktails before, I think we need to introduce it to some Mexican friends! We found this drink at your Shepherd’s bush restaurant, please keep it on the menu!

I was at Wahaca yesterday for my birthday and i actually was quite intrigued by the Tamarind margarita and decided to try it. I must say i was disappointed. I couldnt get the Tamarind taste at all..instead i could just faintly taste the tequila. It was waaaay too diluted i think
