Tamarind Margarita (Sweet and Tangy)
The perfect Tamarind Margarita is sweet, tangy, and definitely my favorite of all the margarita flavors. Luckily, it's really easy to prepare too!
Servings: 1 serving
Calories: 219kcal
Ingredients
- Tajín Clásico Seasoning (to rim the glass)
- 2 ounce tequila
- 2 ounce tamarind syrup
- ½ medium lime (juiced)
- 1 cup crushed ice
Instructions
- Add Tajin seasoning on the rim of the glass by running a lime wedge around the rim and dipping the glass in the Tajin seasoning. Set aside until needed.
- Mix tequila, tamarind syrup, fresh lime juice, and crushed ice in a cocktail shaker and shake until combined.
- Pour margarita mix into the prepared margarita glass, garnish with a slice of lime, and enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer, you can use tamarind paste instead of making tamarind syrup. The only drawback is that you will need to add syrup or orange liqueur to sweeten the drink. This step is not necessary when using tamarind syrup since it's well.... syrup.

- Serve this tamarind margarita with smoked carne asada for a delicious Mexican meal!
- In the place of lime juice, try using super juice; it's got great flavor and extends the amount of juice by seven times!
