Tamarind Agua Fresca
Agua de Tamarindo will intoxicate you with its beautiful sweet and sour notes. The refreshing non-alcoholic drink pairs perfectly with Mexican cuisine.
- 4 oz Tamarind syrup
- 6-8 oz sparkling or non-sparkling water
- 2-4 ice cubes
- 1 lime wedge
- 1 oz Tajín chili spice
Place 1 oz of Tajín chili spice on a small flat plate.
Use a pairing knife and a cutting board to quarter a lime into wedges.
Moisten the rim of the glass with a lime wedge. Gently roll the rim against the Tajín.
Using a cocktail jigger, measure 4 oz of Tamarind Syrup and add to the highball glass.
Add 6-8 ounces of sparkling or non-sparkling water to the glass. Use a cocktail stirrer to combine the water and the Tamarind Syrup. Add ice.
If you would like to add a garnish, add a chili mango slice and a lime wedge to a cocktail pick. Place the cocktail pick atop the rim of the glass. I hope you enjoy this refreshing Tamarind Agua Fresca as much as I do! Every sip of this mocktail brings many fond memories of my days in Mexico.
