This Tamarind Margarita is made with Tamarind syrup, tequila, lime juice, ice, Tajin, and blended to perfection.

After living in Mexico for many years, I have seen that they have different margarita variations all over. The trick to a good margarita is to use good quality products. I used YaVe Tequila but other good brands are Don Julio or Espolon. It was absolutely delicious. It is a perfect recipe to celebrate Mexican Independence Day! Viva Mexico!

Margaritas are one of the most popular cocktails in North America. Combining the tanginess of the lime and the sweetness of the tamarind syrup compliments the tequila so well. This margarita has earned its way into drinkers’ hearts. Opt for a tequila blanco made with agave. If it doesn’t say this, a tequila can have a ton of unnecessary mysterious sugars. You can make this on the rocks vs frozen or salt vs no salt. I prefer using tajin for rimming.

Feel free to pair this Tamarind Margarita with my Pork Birria Tacos or my Cream Cheese stuffed Poblano Peppers.

Substitutions

Tajin: I love using tajin for this recipe, although you can use salt instead. Whatever you prefer.

Tamarind syrup: You can buy this tamarind syrup on Amazon. You probably won’t have luck finding it in your grocery store, but check on google maps to see if you have a Hispanic grocery store in your area. They will most likely have it.

Lime: Use lime juice from fresh limes and do not use that store bought lime juice. That has a ton of added sugars too!

Tequila: Opt for a tequila blanco made with agave. If it doesn’t say this, a tequila can have a ton of unnecessary mysterious sugars.

Variations

Cooking is a chance to be creative! Have fun with it and feel free to make your own variation.

  • Spicy - add a dash of your favorite hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Deluxe - add frozen fruit like berries, mangoes or pineapple.
  • Kid friendly - omit tequila for a virgin margarita.

Check out these Stuffed Anaheim Peppers to pair with this.

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. I used my Oster blender but this will work with any blender.

Storage

This should be consumed right away. Careful with brain freeze!
