Tamarind Margaritas
By Melissa Pitts
While we’ve already brought you tamarind martinis, we can’t leave out tamarind margaritas this summer. This is a great twist on the traditional lime margarita and the chili rimmed glass completes the spicy-sweet punch. You can serve this frozen by adding all the ingredients in a blender with ice, or you can just serve on the rocks. Salud and happy Friday!
