Method
Cocktail
Prepare tamarind pulp
If using fresh tamarind pods: remove shells and veins, place pulp in a small bowl, add 0.5 oz cold water and press through a fine mesh to remove fibers and seeds. If using pre-prepared pulp, measure 1 oz and thin with 0.5 oz cold water if thick. Result should be a smooth, pourable tamarind concentrate.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker add the prepared 1 oz tamarind pulp, 2 oz Javier’s Reserva Reposado Tequila, 0.5 oz agave nectar and 0.75 oz fresh lime juice. Add a handful of ice (about 1 cup).
Shake
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted. This chills and dilutes the cocktail, integrating the tamarind fully.
Strain
Double strain the mixture (using a hawthorne and a fine mesh strainer) into a rocks glass over fresh ice or into a chilled coupe, depending on service style.
