Ingredients
  • 1T tamarind paste
  • ½c organic sugar plus ¼c for rimming the glass
  • ¼c water
  • 1-2 fresh jalapeños, sliced
  • 1 lime
  • 1T coriander seeds or 2t ground coriander
  • vodka or sparkling water
Instructions
  1. to make the simple syrup: in a small saucepan on medium heat add ½c sugar and ¼c water. Bring it to a boil stirring gently then turn off the heat. Add the spliced jalapeño and let the simple syrup cool.
  2. While the syrup is cooling toast the coriander. If you are using whole seeds or the ground coriander toast them in a skillet on medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until you can smell them. Keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn. (Grind the whole seeds in a spice grinder into a fine powder.) Set aside.
  3. Prep your glasses. On a small plate mix ¼c sugar with the toasted coriander.
  4. Run a small piece of cut lime around the rim of your glass-about ⅓ of the way around and dip the glass into the sugar coriander mix until the rim is coated.
  5. In a cocktail shaker add 2oz vodka,1oz tamarind simple syrup, 2 slices jalapeño and a squeeze of fresh lime. Add ice and shake for 30 seconds.
  6. Strain and pour into ice filled glasses.
  7. enjoy!
